IRIS, a firefighter can identify victims within asmoke-filled room, locate disabled firefighters within a fire
building, find hidden fire within walls, and reduce unnecessary water damage by locating the seat of a fire
faster At the request of Mr Genovese, one imager will be placed at Fire Station 8, 1301 Rosedale and
the other at Fire Station 21, 3501 South Hills Drive.
