Abstract

Firefighters perform an important task to ensure the safety of people and extinguish fires. They promptly respond to emergencies, eliminate fires, evacuate victims and provide first aid. Since the work of firefighters involves constant risk, it is very important that their clothes have a high level of protection. The article discusses the need to use innovative flame-retardant textile materials. The main harmful production factors affecting firefighters in the course of their work are considered. The main damaging factors in the work of firefighters are: exposure to open flames and elevated temperatures, exposure to water flows, toxic emissions. The analysis of existing materials and packages has been carried out, and their shortcomings have been identified. Multilayer packages of materials for firefighters' combat clothing have been researched and developed in order to enhance their physical and mechanical properties. In the course of the study, six variants of multilayer packages were developed and tested, including modern heat-resistant materials. A sample package of materials with optimal physical and mechanical characteristics was selected, recommended for further use in the production of firefighters' combat clothing.
