FIRE AND SAFETY

    Professionals in the fire and safety industries face different protection challenges, including open flames, contaminated particulates, chemicals, and body fluids, while trying to manage an optimum body core temperature in their protective gear. This is why Gore continues to expand their family of innovative, breathable barriers that exceed global performance standards.

    DESIGNED TO PROTECT

    PPE with Gore protective fabrics has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs and protects as intended in a range of scenarios.

    Structural Firefighting

    Firefighter gear has to provide reliable protection from wet weather, flames, airborne particulates, and potentially harmful contaminants found at the fireground while remaining highly breathable. Gore head-to-toe products are specially engineered to help manage heat stress better by providing the highest level of breathability in broader conditions.

    Technical Rescue

    When responding frequently to a vast range of conditions, technical rescue personnel need gear and boots that are comfortable and agile. Their PPE should combine unparalleled breathability with liquid protection from hazards, such as heavy rain, floods, chemicals and pathogens found in blood and body fluids. During car accidents incidental flame also requires flame retardant protection.

    Emergency Medical Services

    When Emergency Medical Services respond, personnel should always be equipped with PPE that protects them against the hazards associated with blood and body fluids. Non-bulky gear must offer maximum breathability for first responders moving between indoor and outdoor environments.
