New Zealand Fire Service Level 2
uniform is used for all structure fires. Made by Balleyclare Special Products UK, the garment has a three layer construction. The outer layer is a Kevlar blend fabric developed for the NASA programme and will not burn in air. The middle layer is the moisture barrier and is made of Gore Tex. This layer is porous and allows water vapour to pass through but will not let water in. The inner layer is the thermal barrier and is made from Fire Retardant quilted felt. Our helmets are fibreglass with plastic one piece visors which also incorporate a fire retardant neck skirt. The boots are rubber, steel capped with fuel resistant soles. We use standard leather gloves. |
