Thermal cameras are the only option to see through fog because Night vision only enhances the visibility by collecting unseen lights but Thermal senses the heat so Thermal is the only option to see through fog.

Why one cannot see through fog?
It is very simple, but is difficuld to describe:) First: The way we see for example a car is the light (example the sun) hitting the car and reflect back in to your eye. Second: Fog consists of very small drops of water. Looking at only one of those drops: when the light is on its way back into our eye it hits the drop witch slightly changes the direction of the light. If we go back to the fog: All the rays of light (that is on its way from the car to our eye) they will all hit each there own drop of water(the fog). Each ray will then change the direction slightly. And now it gets tricky: Each ray has ben changed different from one an other. Therefore what we see is just like if you took a picture on the computer and hit the blur button thousands of times (because through the fog the light from the car has been so mixed that we only see it as a grey mass.)

Can a sharp-eyed bird such as a hawk see through fog that's too dense for people to see through?
The ability of the hawk, or any other creature, to resolve images is limited by fog. While it is true that the birds possess an amazing ability to see even the slightest movement from great distance, the manner in which light is scattered by fog affects even the hawk's ability to use its sight. It is not uncommon for an active outdoorsman to report seeing a hawk proudly sitting atop a tall tree or post throughout the full of a greatly foggy day conserving energy because it is too difficult to hunt under those conditions.
