Brandermittlungen
Wenn alles mit Ruß bedeckt und von Feuer und Rauch geschwärzt ist, wie kann dann ein Brand- oder Explosionsort genau dokumentiert werden?
Mit unserer Technologie können schnell und sicher wichtige Spuren gesammelt und so die Umstände eines Brands oder einer Explosion untersucht und aufgeklärt werden. Unsere Lösungen tragen dazu bei, die Sicherheit der Einsatzteams vor Ort zu gewährleisten und ermöglichen es, die zu Beginn einer Brandursachenermittlung ergriffenen Maßnahmen vollständig zu dokumentieren. Die Einführung standardisierter Verfahren und zuverlässiger Lösungen hilft Ihnen dabei, wertvolle Erkenntnisse über den Ablauf zu gewinnen und das Geschehen zu rekonstruieren, auch wenn Art und Umfang Ihrer Ermittlungen von Fall zu Fall unterschiedlich sein mögen.

Secure the fire scene and monitor the safety of the response teams
Rescue operations carried out after a fire are the most complicated and complex tasks performed by fire rescue units. Safety is paramount when a structure may have already collapsed or is close to collapse. When the rescue unit arrives on the scene, their first important task is a comprehensive reconnaissance.
The stability of the structure needs to be analysed, and where necessary, structural monitoring through all the operation (for example, with our Leica Geosystems total stations and GeoMoS solution) increases the safety of the response teams.
Document the fire or explosion scene in challenging conditions
The initial concern with regards to a fire incident scene is safety. A fire or explosion scene has an increased risk factor with possible hazards, including heated materials, structural collapse, damaged electricity and gas mains, debris, asbestos, dangerous combustion products and other toxic substances.
Using the BLK360 imaging laser scanner with its thermal imaging function showing heat maps on the fire site helps to reduce risks for units entering the building, rescuing the victims and documenting the scene. The extent of the structure or building and environmental factors can play a significant role.
Large or complex structures are best captured with the RTC360 laser scanner. The versatile and robust (IP54) scanner is an ideal tool for outdoor data capture in adverse weather conditions.
Preserve the fire scene, visualise the details in Virtual Reality (VR) and train your staff anytime and anywhere
Create photo-realistic virtual reality environments from UAV data, or 3D point clouds to enable re-visitable fire or explosion scenes in digital reality. Include evidence pictures, PDF reports, 2D data, or annotations, and develop truly immersive training environments with flexible virtual scenarios according to your needs. The immersion in the digital world and the interaction of the users, enhanced by haptic or audio stimuli, the ego-perspective and the feeling of “presence” complete the benefits of virtual training.
Provide your units, teams, and response personnel with a fit-for-purpose VR-learning environment for instructor-led training or remote, self-paced learning paths

Fast, agile, and precise fire scene documentation and forensic mapping for court-ready deliverables
Document the scene with the Leica RTC360
With the RTC360 3D laser scanner, fire or explosion scenes can be captured at up to 2 million points per second in less than two minutes directly at the scene.
The RTC360 can easily record fine details and spatial relationships with speed, comprehensiveness and millimetre accuracy, regardless of environmental conditions and site range.
Manage data with Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 and Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360
Captured scan data is visualised and pre-registered directly in the field in real-time with the Cyclone FIELD 360 app, allowing users to perform quality control and assurance of the data.
Quickly post-process 3D environments in the office with Cyclone REGISTER 360 software.
Deliver a wide array of reports with Leica Map360
Our forensic mapping software, Map360 can integrate collected scan data directly with, for example, CCTV footage, images, and other relevant documents into models for analysis and hypothesis. Results of the data analysis can be easily accessed from computers in the crime/fire laboratory or anywhere else, providing an easy and accessible way to revert to the details when needed, even weeks or months after the fire happened.
Map360 helps you to easily transform your 3D fire and explosion data into an accurate and compelling Forensic Digital Twin.
One-button indoor fire scene reality capture in 360° with thermal imaging
Capture the scene with the Leica BLK360
The BLK360 captures the environment in 3D with full-colour panoramic images superimposed over a highly accurate point cloud. Weighing only 1 kg, the BLK360 is the smallest and lightest instrument of its kind and is easy to use thanks to its one-button operation. Anyone who can handle a tablet computer can now capture the environment with high-resolution 3D panoramic images.
The BLK360 is capable of thermal imaging thanks to its built-in thermal imaging sensor. Every scan includes a thermal image panorama, allowing you to view temperatures within the scan with a colour scale and capturing energy units for a fire or explosion scene.
Manage and deliver the data with Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 and Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 (BLK Edition)
Using Cyclone FIELD 360 mobile-device app, the BLK360 streams image and point cloud data to an iPad or final project data to Cyclone REGISTER 360 or Cyclone REGISTER 360 (BLK Edition) via Wi-Fi. With on-the-fly image and point cloud processing in the field and auto-registration office workflows in both software offerings, the BLK360 plus the software solution of your choice dramatically streamlines the reality capture process – thereby opening this technology to everyone.
Structural monitoring for automated safety and rescue operations on a fire scene
Monitor movements with Leica Geosystems total stations and a dedicated app
With a Leica Geosystems total station and an on-board App, movements of structures can be automatically and precisely monitored day or night to ensure the safety of incident response teams and the victims.
Continuously monitor movements with Leica GeoMoS software and Leica Geosystems total stations
For structures that need to be monitored for a longer period of time, an automated monitoring system can be established. Comprising of a Leica total station and Leica GeoMoS controlling software at the scene, any movement in the structure will be detected 24/7. Notifications of movement are automatically sent to inform stakeholders to ensure safety.
