The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for <br />equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster <br />Preparedness. <br />The Santa Ana Division of Homeland Security requires thermal imaging <br />cameras, parts and accessories to aid the firefighters in locating trapped <br />occupants in structure fires that may result from acts of terrorism. The <br />thermal imaging camera is a hand-held device that enhances the ability of <br />firefighters to see in near zero visibility conditions, adding a degree of <br />safety by decreasing the chances of a firefighter becoming disoriented or <br />lost while in the structure. The camera may also be used to locate small <br />hidden. fires using temperature readings shown in the camera's viewfinder, <br />thus eliminating the need to open up hidden areas of the structure to <br />search for the fire. <br />22L-1 <br />
