How Fire Helmets Protect Firefighters from Heat and Impact

To be a firefighter, you have to be very brave (and cool). While fighting fires they wear special helmets to protect themselves. Working to protect themselves from heat and falling debris, these helmets are known as fire helmets. Let’s find out more about the way fire helmets work to keep our heroes safe.

From Hides to Specialty Materials

Fire helmets used to be made out of leather. Now, they’re made from heat- and damage-resistant special materials. Jiangshan Ati-Fire design and manufacture fire helmets to protect fire fighters using high-strength plastics and metals.

What Fire Helmets Prevent Damage and Heat Exposure

There’s a lot of heat and things falling down when firefighters stop fires. That’s where fire helmets come in — they’re designed to protect from all of that. They have layers of materials that shield their heads from the heat. The Firefighter Helmet also contain special components that absorb impact, so if something were to fall onto a firefighter's head, they're protected in that way, too.

Building Strong Helmets

Fire helmet designers invest extensive research and effort to ensure that each part of the helmet is robust and safe. They use technology and conduct tests to verify that the helmets will keep firefighters safe in the line of duty. He is busy with fireman helmets so the Jiangshan Ati-Fire company is able to produce good helmets for our heroes.

Keeping Helmets Secure

Just because fire helmets have special straps and adjustments to keep them in place on a firefighter’s head doesn’t mean they stay put. So, they can do their job without the fireman helmet falling off.

This is why you should take care of your helmets

After firefighters use their helmets, they must check to make sure they are still fit for service. Helmet care is super important. Firefighters regularly inspect their helmets to ensure they are safe for use. If any damage is done, they have it repaired in no time. Another company, Jiangshan Ati-Fire, also assists with helmet care for firefighters to keep them safe.
