Perceptual Colour-Centric Thermal Imaging (PCCTI) redefines how firefighters interpret thermal data by replacing complex numerical readings with intuitive, colour-based risk mapping. Using a "traffic-light" system and advanced imaging technology, it highlights critical heat hazard assessments helping to identify the needed control measures.

PCCTI concept improves situational awareness, reduces cognitive load, and supports faster, safer decision-making in high-risk, low-visibility firefighting environments.
