Strike the Right Balance between Active and Passive Fire Protection
The main challenge associated with PFP is determining how much additional fire resistance is required beyond the AFP, and developing an effective PFP preventive maintenance plan. Generally speaking, the primary focus should be to design a system that has the capability to contain and control a fire, which usually is the function of AFP. However, PFP is effective in preventing critical escalation of the fire, especially when it works in conjunction with AFP.
A Survey of Structural Firefighter Station Wear in the United States
Structural turnout gear is essential for the safety of firefighters. The station wear, or clothing worn underneath the structural turnout suit, contributes to the
thermal protection and performance of the overall ensemble. Depending on the fiber
content and material fabrication, base layer garments may increase the risk of potential burn injuries. The purpose of this research was to evaluate National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1975 certified, certified flame resistant, and non-certified
station wear garments in relation to firefighter burn injuries while worn under a
NFPA 1971 structural firefighting ensemble.
