Fire helmets are comprehensive personal protective equipment worn by firefighters during firefighting and rescue missions to protect the head from a variety of injuries such as falling objects, flame burning, high temperature heat radiation, electric shock, lateral extrusion, and liquid chemical splashing. It is one of the most visible and critical components of firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE) and is known as "the firefighter's second life".
Core protection function 1. Anti-impact and puncture: The sturdy shell (e.g. PC, ABS, glass fiber composites) can withstand the violent impact of falling objects and the puncture of sharp objects. 2. Fire and heat insulation: The material has excellent flame retardancy, will not burn or melt in a fire, and can effectively isolate radiant heat. 3. Anti-electric shock: The housing and internal structure provide electrical insulation to prevent the risk of electric shock (usually up to XX volts, depending on the specific certification). 4. Anti-chemical corrosion: It can resist the splashing of common chemicals and body fluids. 5. Anti-lateral extrusion: Protect the sides of the head and the back of the head. Integrated Design Features 1.Mask/Goggles: Provides face and eye protection against splash debris and thermal radiation, typically made of impact-resistant polycarbonate for quick switching between transparent or dark. 2. Shawl (fireproof hood): Connected to the helmet and respirator mask to form a fireproof and waterproof barrier to protect the neck and shoulders, it is usually made of flame retardant materials such as . 3. Portable lighting system: Integrated or can be installed with strong headlights to free up hands and provide lighting in dark and smoky environments. 4. Communication system interface: Reserve the location for installing earphones and microphones to ensure smooth communication at the fire site. 5. Comfort suspension system: Adjustable lining and cushioning system ensure stable and comfortable wearing, and effectively absorb energy when impacted. Applicable standards, in China, must comply with GA 44-2015 "Fire Helmets" mandatory standards. Internationally, common standards are NFPA 1971 (US) and EN 443 (Europe).
