Structural Firefighting Suits: Futuristic Materials and Designs for Enhanced Comfort by Prasun Kumar Roy* in Crimson Publishers: Peer Reviewed Material Science Journals
The present work aims to briefly overview the protective clothings being used by the firefighters during structural firefighting operations. Future directions towards improving the physiological comfort level offered by the ensemble without compromising on the level of protection against heat loads are also discussed.
Structural firefighting suits belong to the sub-class of protective functional clothings, which are designed with a view to protect our first responders who fight fire during emergency operations. In these scenarios, there is a possibility of the firefighter being exposed to additional hazards like liquid spills and sparks as well [1]. Therefore, a properly designed functional firefighting clothing is required which provides requisite level of protection not only against thermal loads but hazardous liquids, physical and electrical hazards as well. In addition, it should be durable, washable, most importantly, be comfortable for the wearer.
