Michael Walsh, Chairman and CEO of Eagle Bank & Trust Company, recently presented St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson with a Bullard Eclipse Thermal Imager. The device, which costs approximately $5,000 will help firefighters see through smoke while detecting structural dangers and enable them to find their victims faster. In addition, the imager can make it possible to search in darkness for victims lost outside at night, locate smoldering fires and detect overheating electrical equipment.
