You better have donated... FD doesn't investigate. Those tools are needed for our fire dept. They use them to find hot spots after the intial fire so there is not a respark. Search and Rescue applications, they are just needed man. And this would probably be a good time to have a little PSA about checking your wires so you only see the FD when they come to collect donations. YEAH!! :watchplant:
Yep I donated, though I cringed while doing it... I am a former Fire Fighter myself and have seen them in use. I know they are a good tool for that purpose, I however am skeptical about possible misuse by interagency departments of the unit.
