| Abstract | Alongside social progress in Taiwan, from an agricultural society to an industrial society, the changes in building structures, from wooden-type buildings to brick to metal structure to structural steel and cement to skyscrapers and so on, shows partly that the evolution of Taiwan's economy has developed rapidly. In relation, fires that occured in such buildings, have become increasingly difficult for firefighters to put out and therefore prevent casualties. Before, the firefighters only needs a water tank fire-fighting truck in putting out the fire, but now, you might need to mobilize several vehicles or even tens of fire engines and many different types of vehicles, including aerial ladders fire-fighting trucks, to put out the fire. A fire scene is full of danger, but firefighters still have to conduct search and rescue in such an environment. In this paper, the study of ten different fire incidences shows that firefighters used either the traditional method or thermal imaging assisted method in conducting the search and rescue, it is obvious that in the traditional method firefighters spend more time in the fire scene, each additional minute spent will increase the chance of firefighter casualties. In a search and rescue using a thermal imaging camera, firefighters not only can quickly find the stranded people, but they also have a better chance of effectively avoiding danger. the traditional method or thermal imaging assisted method in conducting the search and rescue, it is obvious that in the traditional method firefighters spend more time in the fire scene, each additional minute spent will increase the chance of firefighter casualties. In a search and rescue using a thermal imaging device, firefighters not only can quickly find the stranded people, but they also have a better chance of effectively avoiding danger. Therefore, the usage of thermal imaging device should be promoted to every fire departments of all cities. Usage of thermal imaging should become part of standard operating procedure in search and rescue, it will make the operation more efficient and prevent less casualties. |
