<br />. <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />November 9, 2001 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Kim Moore-Sykes <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Purchasing Additional Thermal Imagining Cameras - Fire Department <br /> <br />............................................................................ <br /> <br />At the Centennial Fire Steering Committee meeting on November 8th, Chief Milo Bennett <br />reported that he will be requesting from the member City Councils to review his request <br />to purchase three (3) additional thermal imaging cameras to supplement the original <br />camera purchased in 2000. As his attached agenda item states, the cameras that he is <br />requesting are newer, smaller and less expensive than the original camera. <br /> <br />With the purchasing ofthese additional cameras, the Fire Department has an increased <br />capability of detecting unseen hot spots and smoldering fires. Chief Bennett also related <br />a story from last winter whereby he and other members of the Department were testing <br />the thermal imaging camera and were able to detect a person on Peltier Lake who was <br />several hundred yards away. He feels that these cameras would also assist water rescue <br />operations should someone fall through the ice. <br />
