Firefighting suits, known as Structural Firefighting Gear or Turnout Gear, are full-body personal protective suits worn by firefighters during firefighting and rescue missions. They are the most important life support system for firefighters in the face of extreme hazards such as high-temperature flames, high-temperature heat radiation, chemicals, and sharp object collisions, rather than ordinary work clothes. The core definition includes the following elements:

The fire retardant sweater, professionally known as the firefighter's flame retardant sweater or fire-resistant thermal underwear, is an important part of the firefighter's personal protective equipment system. It is not an ordinary sweater, but a professional base layer clothing made of permanent flame retardant fibers, specially designed for firefighters operating in cold environments. Its main function is to provide the necessary warmth while ensuring extremely high safety and preventing the clothing from burning or melting in high temperature environments, which can cause secondary injuries.
Emergency rescue suits, professionally known as technical rescue suits or multi-functional rescue suits, are all-round personal protective equipment designed to deal with a variety of complex and dangerous rescue scenarios. It is between heavy structural fire suits and lightweight field fire suits, integrating protection, mobility and functionality. It is the core protective equipment for rescuers to perform tasks in natural disasters (earthquakes, floods), traffic accidents (vehicle demolition), wild fires and complex industrial environments.
