Great technology, good application.  But I have idea... pay attention to your surroundings, training and experience. Computers are good and all, but they don't replace your brain and experience. I can see this tool giving more guys a false sense of security and they go deeper, faster, with out paying attention, then it quits working.

Cool application. It needs to monitor temp, amount of air left and identify the firefighter
