INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of the Fire Chief
Date: October 11, 2024
To: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Antonio O. Mitchell, Interim Deputy Fire Chief
RE: Proposed Resolution 23942
Introduction:
The Fire Department has found it necessary to purchase seven(7) Thermal Camera handheld
system with all of the necessary accessories from Delta Fire& Safety Inc. This thermal camera
will assist and aid the HAZMAT Team, as well as other firefighting strategies. These thermal
cameras will allow us the ability to see inside of structures and objects that would normally be
unavailable to the human eye. This request comes with a critical need to identify unknown heat
sources at fire scenes, wrecks and hazards material scenes. This is a single request with a
onetime cost of$40,465.00.
Background:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 23942, the Fire Department seeks to replace and add new Teledyne
FLOR Thermal Cameras to its current inventory. The existing cameras are outdated and offer
limited capabilities to firefighters on emergency scenes. The newer versions of these cameras
feature advanced technology that our current equipment lacks. Additionally, our outdated
cameras are no longer serviceable or upgradable due to their discontinued models.
Recommendations:
The Fire Department recommends the Council's approval of PR No. 23942.
Budget Considerations:
The total cost is $40,465.00. This is a budgeted item with funds available in Account # 625-19-
047-8522-00-00-000
