Thermal Imaging Cameras really work

I remember many times talking and discussing the advantages of police officers and firefighters having thermal imaging cameras. But yesterday I read an article that there were a man and a woman saved from a burning Upper West Side building in NY thanks to a thermal imaging camera that detected a couple beside a rear window blocked by a locked grate.
The firefighters were using the device to check the building and spotted two people crouched just inches from safety in a third-floor apartment. The man, 29, had suffered smoke inhalation. The 30-year-old woman had gone into cardiac arrest.
