Lloydminster Fire Department gets 18 heat detectors from Cenovus Energy

Lloydminster fire crews have received 18 thermal imaging units from Cenovus Energy. Officials say the donation will raise the firefighting capabilities and support the safety of the community.

The new equipment will allow the fire teams to identify hotspots, find trapped individuals, and assess the overall fire situation. Officials see the new gear as fostering early fire detection and faster, better-informed decision-making based on the behaviour of a fire.

The heat-detecting gear comprises two AttackPRO handheld units, which can be used by a fire chief to make critical, timely decisions. The others are lightweight FirePRO 300 thermal cameras used for everyday situational awareness.
