Whether you use the term bunker gear, PPE or turnout gear a lot of aspiring firefighters are left wondering what is firefighter turnout gear?  It\u2019s a good question because it is arguably the most important piece(s) of equipment you will have.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a firefighter, you need all the protection you can get, and your turnout gear plays a vital role in protecting you against all the dangers of fire, smoke, cancer causing agents<\/a> and other harmful materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnout gear has been around for the past hundred years or\nso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a lot of improvements have taken place, and there\nis currently a broad range of full turnout gear<\/a> in the United States and across\nthe globe. But, what are different pieces fire protective equipment that make\nup a firefighter\u2019s turnout gear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is firefighter turnout gear made of?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s turnout gear is\nmade of fire-resistant fabrics that mainly consist of Nomex and Kevlar.\nGenerally, turnout gear may constitute a combination of hood, gloves, suspenders,\ntrousers, boots, helmet and jacket.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern sets of gear typically use the jacket\/trouser\/helmet\ncombination. Nomex fiber typically carbonizes and thickens when subjected to\nintense heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps to increase the protective barrier between the\nfirefighter and the source of heat, helping to minimize burn injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nomex is also flame-resistant, flexible and tough. On the\nother hand, Kevlar is extremely strong, thermally protective, comfortable and\nhighly lightweight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When these two materials are used together, the result is\nsuperb thermal protection, durability, and unmatched strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is imperative to note that the United States follows the NFPA 1975<\/a>, which offers standard guidelines on work uniforms for firefighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this regulation, all turnout gear should feature\nthree components including, an outer cover or shell, a moisture barrier as well\nas a thermal barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between these three layers there exist pockets of air\nusually referred to as dead zones. Together with the three layers of\nprotection, the dead zones help to further insulate the firefighter from the\nextreme dangers of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll always find turnout pants outfitted with leather\ncuffs and reinforced knees. As we previously mentioned, the materials used for\nthe three layers in firefighter suits may vary but will usually include the\nKevlar\/Nomex combination of material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire Helmets:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Previously, the fire helmet\u2019s primary function was to shed\nwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, thanks to the advancements in technology, today\u2019s\nfire helmets are specifically designed to offer protection to the fireman\u2019s\nhead against the falling debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secondary job of the helmet is to offer protection\nagainst heat. Generally, it offers a hard shell, heat, electrical and steam\nburn protection and equally shields the eye from the various elements of fire\nand debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that helmets are made from various types\nof materials including plastic and carbon fiber for a comfortable and\nlightweight design, non-conductive materials to offer protection against\nelectrical currents and a Kevlar layer for protection and strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The helmet designs usually vary slightly by manufacturer.\nYou\u2019ll find that some helmets feature a faceguard to protect you from dust,\nheat, debris, and water, especially when you are working on an extraction call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that when helmets are not able to\noffer built-in protection for firefighter\u2019s neck, ears as well as part of your\nface, firefighters also use firefighting protective hood. These flash hoods are\nusually made from Nomex Knit fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bunker pants:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are important gear and will protect you from heat and\nsteam burns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest technology has made them relatively lighter and\ncertain fire pants feature a built-in harness system that helps to eliminate\nthe need for extra hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They feature uniquely reinforced knees and form inserts to\nhelp you crawl freely without the fear of injury and burns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable features that help make this type of\nprotective equipment more effective and comfortable include ripcord suspenders,\ngusseted cargo pockets, zippered pant legs and perhaps stretch waistbands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighter boots:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are equally essential protective gear and are usually\nmade of leather or rubber with a steel toe insert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighter boots are intended to protect your feet against puncture wounds, fire and water damages. They are mostly made of leather, which is a fire-resistant material. The boots also feature removable washable foot beds, reflective material to enhance visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wrote a review on the best station boots for firefighters<\/a> which can be found by clicking the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnout coat:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the largest and arguably the most important item in\nyour safety wardrobe as a fireman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra-large jackets enable firemen to carry equipment and\ntools, whereas the reflective safety stripes on these jackets ensure that\nfiremen remain visible to each other even when performing their duties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighter turnout jackets usually are sewn with unique\nitems to make them suitable for the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, they feature special wrist guards to help\nprotect your exposed skin between the edge of the glove and the sleeve. They\nare designed to prevent wrist burns, while at the same time remaining flexible\nand preventing bunching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the collars feature a special stitching technique to\nensure that the collar remains up at all times to protect your throat and the\nback of the neck against potential dangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back and chest parts of the jacket are fitted with a\nspecial insulation to help protect you from burns. Firefighter jackets usually\nare made from Kevlar and Nomex materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighting Gloves:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a firefighter, gloves will be an important part of your turnout\ngear. This is because you will be constantly using your hands to rescue people\nout of fires, move and lift items that have caught fire or are smoldering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, the chances of coming into contact with\npotentially harmful substances are also higher and this is why you must protect\nyour hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a firefighter, you will always have to respond to other\nemergencies other than fire incidences. Other emergencies that you may have to\ncontend with include car accidents, hazardous material spills, riots, and\nperhaps marine accidents and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the type of gloves you\u2019ll need will likely\ndepend upon the emergency at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional fire safety gear you may need could include items\nsuch as goggles, backpacks, masks and oxygen tanks, hazmat suits and\nflashlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief history of\nfirefighter turnout gear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I\u2019m sure you already know firefighters are professionals\nwho risk their own lives to protect citizens and property from fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fires are known to destroy billions of dollars\u2019 worth of\nprivate and public property every year. This obviously implies that\nfirefighting, as a profession, is an incredibly dangerous occupation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to combating actual fires, firemen must also\ncontend with water, smoke, hot embers, collapsing floors and falling objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters perform their tasks under stressful time\nconstraints, considering that they only have a few minutes or perhaps seconds\nto safely evacuate occupants out of burning buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, firemen didn\u2019t have the same level of fire\ngear used today. For this reason, most fires used to be fought only from the\noutside of structures, which were rarely ever entered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of these old firefighter protective equipment\nwas to provide warmth and dryness as opposed to offering protection against\nfire and its components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the nineteenth century, felt caps were put on and\nwere more of a decorative purpose than for protection. This type of fire gear\nnever offered any form of protection against heat even though it did prevent\nwater from affecting the firemen\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the overall design, as well as the\nfunctionality of turnout gear for firefighters, has undergone a lot of positive\ntransformations, and we now have highly effective equipment that not only offer\nthe much-needed comfort during tough fire rescue operations, but have equally\nmade it very feasible to enter a burning building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
