Firefighters are using new technology designed to save lives in dark and adverse conditions on the water.
The technology by FLIR, a local company, allows rescuers to see in the dark, fog and wintry conditions.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue demonstrated the technology to KATU on Friday night from its new boat.
With a swimmer in the water to play the part of a victim, Capt. Jon Voeller explained how the technology works.
