I think I might be a little suspicious of the person using the thermal imaging camera. Did he get it for just such an occasion or what? Curious minds want to know. I hope the other person is alright.

It is odd that someone used a thermal imaging camera as well.

I hope they survive if they want to survive. I imagine it matters how badly they were burned.

Yes, hopefully the victim will recover, but the house looks to be beyond all recovery, a ferocious fire, it looks like, from the picture.
