The firefighter SCBA
The firefighter SCBA is the firefighter's equipment of choice. The SCBAs used by professional or volunteer firefighters are designed to provide maximum autonomy during firefighting or in polluted environments requiring an independent source of breathable air.
A key element of the firefighter's gear, the firefighter SCBA is composed of a harness, a full face mask for respiratory protection with F1 attachment (on the helmet) and a compressed air cylinder. It offers a range of features that enable the wearer to operate in complete safety during an intervention: resistance to heat and fire, low-resistance demand valve when inhaling, lightweight equipment, comfortable and ergonomic harness, high-quality medium and high-pressure hoses, and even a display of crucial information directly on the mask's visor.
The firefighter helmet
An essential part of the firefighter's gear, the helmet is designed to meet the highest safety requirements. Type A or B firefighters' helmets are designed for maximum comfort and safety during firefighting operations.It's made of materials that are highly resistant to flammable substances, and can be adapted to suit any field or situation with numerous accessories (special visor, light, F1 attachments, etc.)..
The thermal camera
The thermal camera is a firefighter's gear designed for interventions in difficult conditions with reduced visibility. The device works on a simple principle: the camera captures the infrared radiation (thermal radiation) of all the elements in its field of vision and reproduces the density of this radiation on its screen. Thus, the device through its screen displays the thermal image, the temperature wave of an intervention scene.
A thermal camera provides a clear view of an environment during a firefighting operation, helping to identify potentially dangerous elements (detection of hot or cold zones) as well as the presence of individuals. Designed for maximum performance in harsh environments, thermal cameras for firefighters are resistant to very high temperatures, shock-resistant, and easy to use.
Gas detectors for firefighters
The firefighter's equipment can be completed with different measuring devices to ensure maximum safety during interventions. There are the portable explosimeter (portable gas detection of flammable or explosive products), multigas usually like 4-gas detector for explosive gas detection, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and lack of oxygen (presence of smoke or asphyxiating product).
Firefighters can also provide themselves with colorimetric reagent tubes (measuring the gas concentration in the air in ppm or %/volume), such as Gastec reagent tubes, and more specifically with simultaneous test kits. Simultaneous tests for firemen are made up of various colorimetric reagent tubes allowing the semi-quantitative measurement (ppm or %/vol.) of fire and decomposition gases. These tests are commonly used by firemen before or after an intervention in order to proceed to a clarification of doubts or a punctual measurement of organic or inorganic vapors and chemical substances (carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, nitrous vapors, etc.).Reagent tubes are perfect additional elements to the explosimeter to get an accurate measure of the hazardous gas concentration rate.
Extractor fans for smoke extraction
RAMFAN, from EURAMCO group, the world's leading brand of portable ventilation equipment for the most demanding worksites, offers a selection of fans/air extractors for firefighting and rescue operations. Rapid smoke extraction makes it easier for firefighters to act and shelter people quickly. It also prevents new fires from starting in the explosive zone and stabilizes the building to prevent further damage.
