EH&S receives specialty 'firecams'

Donald Alford Weadon Jr. '67, president of the alumni association of Cornell's Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, right, presents two DiOp thermal imaging "firecam" devices to Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) personnel during a reception at the fraternity lodge Oct. 16. Weadon and his wife, Suzanne, donated the infrared cameras to Cornell on behalf of DKE and the Greek system in recognition of the support the university gives to protection of the health and safety of fraternity and sorority members on campus. The DiOp firecams are uniquely capable of assisting safety personnel in locating people in inaccessible, dark or smoky locations, such as gorges or fires. Accepting the gift from EH&S are, from left, Nox Connelly, emergency services specialist; Dan Maas, emergency management coordinator; and Kathy MacCheyne, senior emergency services specialist.
