Alameda County Firefighters Rescue Cat With Thermal Imaging Camera
NBC Bay Area ^ | 4/16 | Brendan Weber

Firefighters rescue cat. Not news.

Firefighters rescues cat with thermal technology. Different story.

That’s the angle that grabbed headlines Tuesday for Alameda County firefighters in San Leandro who used a thermal imaging camera to locate a trapped cat inside of a wall before strategically cutting around the heat reading and freeing the kitten. The cat was in the attic before it fell, wedging itself between wall studs.

Down on their hands and knees, three firefighters helped pull the small feline from the wall and then wrapped it in a white blanket.

The firefighters decided to document their high-tech rescue on Instagram.

What a coincidence. I just repaired a Thermal Imaging Camera yesterday. Pretty cool device. It can see handprints if you touch a wall.

OK, picture on the right is about the time that the cat gives you that “what took you so long” look and wizzes on your gloves...
