Patol – Adding thermal imaging to its fire detection offering for waste recycling

SSO Wong had opportunity to be involved with a demonstration of FARS at the Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Centre (GRPSTC), in Arizona. This demonstration was hosted live online by Fire Engineering’s Bobby Halton via a “Humpday Hangout” on 18 January 2017.
