Firefighter's can see it all!

A few inventors are trying to come up with more and more ways now to keep us firefighters safe while in the chaos and destruction of a burning building. Their latest invention is dealing with the self contained breathing apparatus better known to us as SCBA. They are trying to make it so we have "bionic" vision. We would be able to get a lot of awesome features from it like the external temperature the rooms were in or be able to pull up little videos of our other men that are inside the building. We would also be able to see if there are any contaminants that would be harmful to us if we were to proceed. It gives information of battery life of the equipment your carrying, how much air you have left, your heart rate, and your body temperature. Last but not least, what I believe would be the best safety feature of the new SCBA would be it's ability to detect rapid changes within the
building. It is able to show you the waves of flames in a room that you are about to go into.
