Overview
The firefighter fire-entry suit is protective clothing worn by firefighters for short-time passage through a fire zone, or for a short entry into a fire scene for firefighting and rescue work. The garment is built up from several material layers - refractory, fire-retardant, insulation, waterproof and vapour-barrier layers - and provides good fire resistance and thermal insulation. It is intended as personal protective equipment for firefighters working in the flame zone.
