Types of fire suit • What is fire suit • Approach suit used for work in the general area of high temperatures such as steel mills and smelting facilities. Maximum ambient heat protection is about 200°F (93 °C). • Proximity suit used for ARFF. Maximum ambient heat protection is about 500°F (260 °C). • Entry suit used for entry into extreme heat and situations requiring protection from total flame engulfment. Most commonly made of Zetex or Vermiculite and not aluminized. Maximum ambient heat protection is about 2,000°F (1,093 °C)) for short duration and prolonged radiant heat up to 1,500°F (816 °C) • Complete proximity protection for ARFF requires aluminized hood or helmet cover with neck shroud, aluminized jacket and pants with vapor-barrier insulated liner, aluminized lined gloves, aluminized ARFF boots, and aluminized covers for SCBA bottles or suits that cover the air pack. • There are three primary materials used in proximity ensembles: aluminized glass, Nomex and Rayon. • Aluminized glass combines the reflectivity of an aluminized outer surface with glass fabric. Glass fabric neither burns nor supports combustion, and offers a combination of properties from high strength to fire resistance. It is a stable material that will not stretch or shrink, even after exposure to extremely high or low temperatures. • Aluminized Nomex combines an aluminized outer surface with Nomex, an inherently flame resistant material of aramid fiber by DuPont. Though considered expensive, it is very durable. • Aluminized Rayon combines an aluminized outer surface with Rayon, which provides excellent insulation. It is a permanently flame resistant material, which has been chemically treated to give it its flame resistant qualities. • Proximity suits • Proximity suits are designed for exterior rescue operations and other fire situations where there are hazards and people operating in excessive temperature within the manufacturer's recommended operating range. • The outer layer of these aluminized ensembles help to reflect more than 90 percent of the radiant heat thereby helping the rescuer prolong their stay near a fire. • Modern Apparels' fire proximity suit is made of 16-ounce imported aluminized glass fiber fabric with dual mirror having 90 percent reflection of heat as an outer layer and with a woolen fabric lining. An additional vapor-barrier layer is also used for higher temperature. • Fyrepel's 700 and 705 Series proximity suits are designed for performing maintenance and repairs in high-heat areas. Fyrepel's multi-layer construction includes a vapor barrier and an outer layer composed of high-temperature aluminized glass. The 700 Series suit comes with a hood with gold reflective face shield, coat, pants, mitts and boots. • Globe's RSX ensembles use a reflective aluminized film for radiant heat resistance that is laminated to a knit PBI blend for the outer shell. Globe Cairns proximity gear is available with a choice of moisture barriers and thermal liners as well as a variety of custom options. • Fire entry suits • Modern Apparels' fire entry suit is offered in various layers, weighs 48 pounds and can provide protection for temperatures about 2,000°F. It consists of coat with long sleeves, double storm fly front and pouch to carry cylinder for breathing apparatus. In order to provide thermal protection to the eyes, the fiberglass helmet has tempered glasses and two gold plated lenses. The mittens and boots are constructed using ZetexPlus fabric. • Newtex's 2000 and 3000 Series suits are worn in preparation for possible fire eruption or for stand-by operations should a rescue or evasive action require passage through a fire zone. The suits have eight layers of insulation, a fully insulated hood, mitts, boots and soles. • The 2000 Series' ZetexPlus outer shell protects against temperatures of about 2,000°F (1,093°C). The 3000 Series aluminized Z-Flex outer shell protects against high radiant heat of about 3,000°F (1,650°C). • Boots • Globe says its Proximity 14-inch pull-on is the world's first leather proximity boot. It uses the same cushioned and contoured sole, athletic footwear construction, and custom fit system as Globe's Supreme structural boots. The boot meets the radiant heat requirements of NFPA 1971 for both proximity and structural ensembles. • Remember, for firefighting operations, proximity and fire entry ensembles are not designed for entry firefighting operations. They are designed to provide a level of protection that may be consistent with the tactical requirements of the incident. Just as with any of our other firefighting tools, there is a right time and a right place for the proximity ensemble. • • • #firesafety • Video edited by realme 3i • Safetymgmtstudy
