When it comes to fighting fire, nothing is too much to protect the people who are inside fighting the fire in it’s own terrain. Fire fighting requires some very specialty equipment. This is true of both specialty fire equipment as well as fire gear. Just a few of the things that may be included in a firefighters gear are:

Overalls. Protective of the body tissue, firefighters overalls can protect not only against heat but also against punctures that can take place by items that fall or are sticking out of areas inside the home. The materials that are used in the fire suits, both tops and bottoms usually include kevlar which is punture resistant. You will know kevlar from the fame that it has in making bullet proof vests.

The materials are the same that are used to make the fire coats which protect firefighters from the heat as well as from the projectiles and from items that may puncture their coats and expose them to heat and cuts.

Helmets are made of very hard and very high density materials which prevent head trauma by absorbing the shock that takes place when something may fall from the roof. Falling items could cause injury or death when hitting an un protected head.

The Air pack which is used by firefighters is not, as most people think, filled with oxygen. Oxygen is combustible. In a fire this could be very dangerous. Firefighters air packs are full of just what the name implies. Compressed air. The compressed air and the mask allow them to avoid the smoke and to breathe clean air that will keep them able to do the work of putting out the fire.
