Firefighter Protective Clothing and Equipment - Full Firefighter Gear
Entering a burning building exposes firefighters to extreme hazards such as intense heat, flames, smoke, and falling debris. Over time, firefighting gear has evolved dramatically to provide better protection and improve safety. Historically, firefighters battled fires from outside structures due to limited protective equipment. Today, modern technology enables safer interior firefighting.
Firefighters now wear bunker gear or turnout gear, terms that refer to their protective clothing. The term “bunker gear” originated from the practice of storing boots and pants by the firefighter’s bunk for quick access. Today, gear is stored in the engine room, ready for rapid deployment.
Modern turnout gear includes triple-layer jackets and pants made from fire-resistant materials like Nomex, Aramid, and Kevlar. When paired with SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus), PASS devices (Personal Alert Safety Systems), and advanced communication equipment, this gear allows firefighters to enter burning buildings more safely and effectively than ever before.
Our firefighters are some of our most important local heroes. Help us celebrate these local heroes – they deserve our admiration and praise.
