The material reflects a large amount of heat away from the person wearing it, so they do not overheat while working near the flames.

Why do firefighters have a difficult job?

Firefighters often enter buildings under extremely dangerous conditions, as fire weakens a building's structure. Firefighters need to be strong enough to rescue people trapped inside a burning building, and they must be able to work quickly and under pressure. Without proper equipment, they could suffer from burns or smoke inhalation. The schedule is also grueling, as firefighters often work shifts that are several days long, requiring them to be ready at a moments notice.


Do firefighters get scared?

Some will, and some will not. It is what they do, and what they are willingly doing. If a firefighter does not want to enter a burning structure, they are not required to. That does notmean the ones who get scared will not enter a burning structure when they need to.

What do firefighters use to rescue people?

It depends upon what kind of fire it is and where it is located. In many cases, firefighters have easy access to water and a fire is comprised of ordinary combustible materials that can be extinguished using water. However, some types of fires would react violently with water and different types of fire extinguishers have been invented to address this. Look at Class B, C, D, K extinguishers for more information about these other types of fires. In wildfire situations, where water is scarce or very expensive to move, firefighters use hand tools, chainsaws, and perhaps bulldozers to stop a fire using a "fuel break". By separating the burning fuel from the unburned, the fire will eventually run out of fuel and stop, if the separation is large enough. Fire retardant may also be dropped from aircraft onto fires in remote places, cooling the fire and making it more difficult for the fire to spread to other coated materials.

How do firefighters have to cooperate with each other when on the job?

Firefighters must co-operate with each other on the emergency scenes. Whether it be a House Fire, Vehicle Accident, Medical Emergency, or any other scene, co-operation is extremely important. Firefighters will have to stay in teams of, at least, two firefighters while entering a burning building, which requires trust in the other persons that they are working with. They must cooperate while extricating patients from a wrecked vehicle, also. This is because not only 1 person can do the job.
