Hi all,
Over here our fire season is coming to an end (I hope) which will mean our brigade will start doing controlled Hazzard Reduction Burns.
I have no experience with thermal imaging, but am thinking that it could be really useful to be able to find Hotspots throught out the fireground, from the air! At the moment we do the standard mop-up, then just drive around the fireground (usually under 5 acers) looking for Hotspots. Sometimes useing a handheld FLIR camera.
But I think it is probably time to go to the air.
If anyone has any thoughts on what to use in regards to camera/setups etc. (including where to get it). Or any suggestions in general it will be appreciated.
I'm thinking that having fpv of the thermal imaging is nessery.
At this stage I just have a DJI Phantom 4.
Cheers.
P.S. I really mean it when I say have no experience with thermal imaging!
