Benefits

SAFETY+

Rapid assessment of the situation during firefighting

Especially during firefighting, difficult conditions such as fire, smoke and darkness prevail. The UCF® FireCore
provides important orientation, helps to quickly assess the situation and thus identify potential hazards.

A clear view at all times

The FPS® in-mask display (FPS® IMD) is integrated into the Dräger FPS® 7000 full-face mask, so you have the
thermal image in front of your eyes from the first second and at all times, and thus a permanent view of your
surroundings, even under zero visibility conditions. This enables you to complete your mission with greater
speed and safety.

Work with both hands free

The UCF® FireCore is ergonomically integrated into your PPE, so you do not have to hold the thermal imaging
camera in your hand. That means you have both hands free to focus on what matters most: saving lives.

USABILITY

High level of flexibility

No matter whether you are crawling or climbing stairs, you always have a complete overview, because the
camera angle is flexibly adjustable. This reduces physical strain, such as neck pain.

Thermal imaging camera is easily detachable

Especially when firefighting you often need to enter areas that are difficult to access. The UCF® FireCore makes
it easier to manouevre, because you can simply detach it to capture a view of what is waiting in hard to reach
areas. That gives you even better situational awareness.

Ease of use
The UCF® FireCore is very easy to handle and operate. It was designed for maximum usability. The UCF®
FireCore is coupled with the FPS® IMD within a few seconds by briefly holding the two components next to
each other. This also enables you to quickly hand over the thermal imaging camera to one of your teammates to
use.

SERVICE

Tough and reliable on the job

You can rely on this durable camera even in the toughest conditions. With an IP67 rating, it is water and dust
resistant under typical conditions. The UCF® FireCore is powered by lithium-ion batteries for long battery life.
The batteries can easily be recharged either in a vehicle or at the fire station. The devices require minimal
maintenance.

Benefits

Modular design
The modular product concept allows for optimal adaptation to your operational tactics and budget. You can
decide flexibly, based on your needs, which team member should be equipped with the FPS® in-mask display
and also the UCF® FireCore.
