The Three Layers: Insights Into Structural Fire Turnout Gear
Effective structural fire turnout gear not only protects first responders from flames, it also prevents heat, liquids, chemicals, and potentially toxic substances—such as carcinogens—from harming a firefighter. Each layer of turnout gear—outer shell, moisture barrier, and thermal liner—utilizes highly technical fabric technology to create a system that works together to provide multi-hazard protection. We explore how each layer plays its part in protecting firefighters as they respond to calls.
