@inartificial_84@NickCnf@HRMFireNews A heat signature is only detectable if the subject is above the surface of the water and the body temperature is different from that of the water. Mid range IR will not penetrate the surface.
@bahudihanhulooz@HRMFireNews Easy to be a keyboard critic. Lithium ion battery fires are on the rise and can be extremely dangerous. Luckily this one was a very minor incident, some are not.
@HRMFireNews But. On this particular call, I skied for ops 7 after entering the building and 3 Aerial picked up the primary DVR but was possibly too far away from our location inside to be useful.
@HRMFireNews So. Yes, ideally, we would start on a repeater channel. As of now, the responsibility lies with the first due captain to request a repeater channel en route, arrive, become the primary DVR and then everything should work.
@HRMFireNews Last pic. 4 Engine or possibly Spare Engine 4. The spares were numbered back then. It is one of the engines that had a roof manufactured in house.
