Congratulations

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Bullard TI
Commander Thermal  Imager. The  Bullard TI  Commander
combines advanced thermal imaging performance and
unsurpassed firefighting features with Bullard’s expertise
in high heat, impact resistant thermoplastics. Its
innovative design, extensive feature set, and legendary
durability make the Bullard TI Commander the best choice
for firefighters who demand maximum performance and
flexibility. 

The benefits of using thermal imaging technology as a
firefighting tool encompass just about every aspect of a
firefighter’s job. Thermal imaging is not, however, a
technology designed to replace current firefighting tactics.
Rather, it is a tool that allows the firefighter to be more
effective and make better decisions. Some of the many
uses for your Bullard Thermal Imager include:

• Search and rescue
• Scene assessment
• Locating the seat of the fire
• Determining the spread of the fire
• Locating hot spots
• Identifying potential flashover situations
• Determining ventilation points
• Determining entry and exit points
• Overhaul
• Hazmat
• Wildland firefighting
• Incident Investigation
• Training

Imager.
