**Brighton Fire Rescue Enhances Firefighter Training with Thermal Imaging Cameras**

Brighton, CO – Brighton Fire Rescue is stepping up its efforts to improve safety and efficiency in emergency situations. Fire crews recently trained with Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICs) to sharpen their search and rescue capabilities, refine fire suppression techniques, and enhance overall safety for the local community.

Thermal Imaging Cameras allow firefighters to see through smoke, identify heat sources, locate victims more quickly, and make critical decisions while navigating dangerous conditions. These high-tech tools are designed to improve response time and ensure more effective interventions during emergencies.

The training session took place at the South Adams County Fire Department’s state-of-the-art facility. Brighton Fire Rescue expressed gratitude to South Adams County for providing access to the training space.

This investment in advanced equipment and specialized training continues Brighton Fire Rescue's commitment to protecting and serving the community with the best tools and techniques available.
