Your Safety. Your Performance. Our Commitment.
Did you know that the choice of protective barrier in your turnout gear has the most impact on breathability — more than any combined choice of outer shell and thermal barrier? If your body’s heat cannot escape from your gear, you run the risk of elevated heart rate, accelerated dehydration, and potential heat exhaustion.
In recent testing, GORE® protective barriers significantly outperformed the competition in breathability in the broader conditions that you encounter. This trial confirmed that wearing the GORE® PARALLON™ liner system delivered the highest breathability followed closely by GORE® CROSSTECH® black moisture barrier; both performed significantly better than the competition.
And, as a result of their durability proven both in the lab and in the field, all of our protective barriers are covered by industry-leading warranties.
Automatic and vehicle-mounted, Ward Diesel NO SMOKE Systems offer exhaust protection on scene, in the station – everywhere you need it. Our NO SMOKE 2 System is specifically designed for units built after 2007, including vehicles with DEF, that emit higher levels of harmful gases. The system is constantly filtering harmful exhaust from the environment inside the fire station at cold starts, and while idling on scene. The original NO SMOKE System, designed for apparatus with pre-2007 compliant engines, offers automatic, hands-free operation when exiting or returning to station. A manual override switch allows the system to be activated on-scene. NO SMOKE Gas is designed to oxidize and reduce emissions from gasoline powered engines

In the heat of the battle, a thermal imaging camera (TIC) is indispensable. These vital tools help you see through smoke and monitor the fire’s spread, so you can quickly visualize your plan of attack, locate hot spots, and save lives. FLIR’s expanded lineup of TICs gives you the most comprehensive view of the scene—from inside, outside, and above the fire.
This is about more than seeing through a smoke-filled room: by viewing the entire scene from multiple viewpoints, incident commanders can make better decisions when directing resources. And, since FLIR TICs clearly visualize heat sources, they’re an important tool for hazmat and search and rescue operations.
