In this paper there is presented the state of equipment of thermographic cameras in the State Fire Service (SFS) units. There are given the requirements which have to be met by thermographic cameras in order to use them for rescue and extinguishing actions. The methods for usage of thermographic cameras for extinguishing internal fire are described. Thermographic cameras are used for search for fire sources which are hidden between ceiling and walls in smoke-fined places, also for control of a site of fire and search for lost people in the area Selected implementation of thermographic cameras and infrared pyrometers in fire-fighting and research works performed in SFS units is presented. There are also described the effects of car fire. Fig. 2 illustrates the dependence of temperature on the fire duration in different places of the car, measured by use of thermocouples and infrared pyrometers. There are presented topics of research works performed by the Main School of Fire Service in Warsaw. There is also reference to the papers by T. Poledank and M. Limonowa on investigations of development of car fire with use of a themmgraphic camera and temperature measurements.
