Failing to use a search line when searching a building with a large or confusing floor plan can and often has proved deadly for many firefighters.

Firefighters do not endanger themselves or other firefighters on the scene by entering a building without full PPE and a tool.

Firefighters do not need to search the exterior of the building for victims during a structure fire.

In which search do firefighters look for victims in every possible spot inside and outside the structure. This search is methodical and thorough in nature and is usually conducted after the fire has been controlled.

Thermal imagers work by reading heat differentials that exist in different objects.

Thermal imaging should take the place of regular search techniques
