Overview
The buoyant firefighter protective suit is fitted with an automatically or manually triggered inflatable airbag. If a firefighter falls into water during an emergency rescue, the suit inflates automatically within 3 s to 5 s and becomes a protective garment with the function of a life jacket, giving the wearer a self-rescue capability in water that conventional firefighter protective clothing does not provide.
