L-Tron returned from another successful annual International Association for Arson Investigators (IAAI) Training Conference. This year’s conference took place in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 7-12, 2024. At the event, L-Tron met arson investigators and fire personnel from across the country and introduced many attendees to OSCR360.
The International Association for Arson Investigators Conference will be held from April 7-12, 2024. The L-Tron team will be at the event April 9-11, showcasing the OSCR360 System for Fire and Arson Investigations.
Firefighters routinely find themselves entering first response situations blindly, not knowing what might be in store for them when they respond to a call.
Unfortunately, it isn’t logistically possible for every firefighter to physically tour and train within every public space or high-risk environment. Yet, imagine if every firefighter on the force had virtual access to each place of public assembly in their district, including schools, hospitals, government buildings and more.
See how OSCR360 can provide a valuable look inside public spaces so that fire departments can familiarize themselves with a building’s layout and plan for an emergency.
The L-Tron team has returned from the second annual International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) Technology Summit, which was held at the Irving Convention Center in Texas earlier this month. The Summit attracted fire service and IT professionals from all over the country, as well as many industry-leading technology companies. The L-Tron team attended for the first time this year, showcasing its patented OSCR360 System for in-house firefighter training, emergency preplanning, fire investigation, and crash documentation.
The OSCR360 team will attend the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) 2023 Technology Summit from December 5-7, 2023 in Irving, TX.
The IAFC Technology Summit will take place at the Irving Convention Center and focuses on how to practically implement technology to benefit firefighter safety and decision-making processes. Stop by booth 127 to meet OSCR and the team!
When it comes to fire service professionals, unsafe structures and environments continuously pose a risk to their health, safety, and well-being.
Firefighters are in danger while they work to extinguish each blaze and rescue victims who may be trapped inside. The hazmat team is vulnerable when responding to chemical spills and explosions. The search and rescue team enters precarious situations that no one else has the capability to handle. Investigators put themselves at risk when they are exposed to environmental conditions and the structural damage that remains after the emergency response team has cleared the scene.
See how OSCR360 can help with accessing unsafe structures and training for these scenarios.
While on-site tactical training is certainly an important component of a well-rounded training regimen, these types of trainings tend to be costly, time-consuming, and impractical to achieve on a frequent basis.
OSCR360 is a multi-use tool for fire departments of all sizes that allows firefighters and investigators the unique opportunity for limitless in-house training.
Vehicle fire investigation is a complex discipline, requiring expert knowledge in combustion kinetics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics to determine the origin and cause of a fire and conclude whether a criminal element was involved.
See how technology like OSCR360 can assist in documenting a vehicle fire and the investigation.
The L-Tron team has returned from the 74th Annual International Training Conference (ITC) hosted by the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI). This year’s IAAI Arson Training Conference took place from April 25-27th at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort just outside of Asheville, North Carolina. Julianne Pangal and Andy McNeill attended the conference and demoed the OSCR360 system for fire investigation, evidence organization, and case presentation.
The ultimate goal of a fire investigator is to determine the fire’s origin and cause. The “point of origin” is the precise location where a fire was ignited, and the “cause” refers to the exact source(s) of the flame. Causation forensics, or the science behind determining the where, how and why a fire occurred, is important for many reasons. Discover more here:
