Burning wood and debris release particles and gases. And as flames spread over a wide outdoor area, these substances surround firefighters like yourself in all directions.

Professionals heading into structural fires have traditionally turned to bandana-style and N95 masks. However, for woodland and brush incidents, these methods don't provide adequate protection against particulate, smoke and gas hazards. Instead, air purifying and powered air-purifying respirators deliver the filtration strength you need with construction that won't weigh you down.

What Wildland Firefighter Masks Do

These specialized firefighter masks and respirators perform two roles. One, proper application significantly limits smoke exposure and filters out particulates that could settle in your airways and lungs. Secondly, the material insulates your face and neck against heat exposure and further guards your skin against potential contaminants.

Within this general configuration, wildland firefighter masks and respirators available at Fire Safety USA:

• Help reduce risks for burns to the face and neck.
• Limit inhaling ash, cinder and other particles.
• Are equipped with moisture-absorbing materials or liners for more comfortable wear.
• Factor in airflow and reduce CO2 buildup, offering a place for inserting a particulate filter with an exhalation valve.
• Allow for natural breathing at all exertion levels.
• Are constructed of non-flammable materials that can withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
• Are built for repeat use or are disposable, based on how frequently you and your team put out wildfires.
• Deliver reliable, environment-specific performance coupled with lightweight construction and quick, efficient application.
• May include reflective elements for better visibility at night and in low-light conditions.
• Fit around the nose and mouth area without getting in the way of glasses, goggles and headgear.
