Why do firemen have to wear fire suits?
The fire service (fire fighting clothing / fire protective clothing) is one of the important equipment in the active protection of firefighters who fire the first line of personal safety, is a special clothing for firefighters in the fire fighting when wearing, used for its upper and lower torso, neck and arms and legs for thermal protection, but protection of protective clothing does not include the head, hands and feet. It is not only an indispensable part of the fire rescue site, but also a fire protection device to protect the firefighter's body from injury. Therefore, it is very important to adapt to the fire scene rescue clothing (combat clothes / fire fighting fire protection clothing).
The fire fighting suit became;A protective covering that prevents water from permeating the insulation and discharging steam. A protective clothing part that provides insulation protectionThe joint of the two edges of the seam fabric is securely attached to the protective clothing by sewing or otherwise.Reflective marking: a fabric that is sewn on a coat to reflect light as a marker, which helps to increase visibility.
The fire suit is developing with the change of times. Now, firefighters can be roughly divided into two types of clothing: one is up and down, and the other is up and down parts (coats and pants). Fire clothing is an important tool used by firefighters to protect their bodies during fire fighting activities. Therefore, it must have the following characteristics: first, from the protection of considerations, must be fire-resistant, heat resistance and heat insulation, but also has strong toughness, to prevent sharp objects impact, collision, etc.. In addition, but also has the properties of chemical substances to prevent damage to the skin; to adapt to changes in temperature, wind and rain outside environment, to maintain energy and strong; the work efficiency considerations, the fire service should have leeway in operation, try to use telescopic material with good performance, and texture and the shape, structure and other aspects of the material but also to seriously study. Fourth, in the safety management and the overall planning of the army, the upper and lower levels should be effective and ensure the fire service to play its due role. On the advantages of split fire service are: high safety (including body protection, body protective) and easy activities, not easy to wet, good waterproof performance, good cold tolerance, good appearance and function. Disadvantages are: poor heat dissipation, body heat is not easy to discharge, high cost, clothing weight. The utility model has the advantages of high heat dissipation, easy discharge of body heat and low cost. Disadvantages are: poor safety, poor mobility, clothing weight.
