SINGAPORE: Firefighters responding to emergency calls will progressively be equipped with new, more durable suits that offer better protection from extreme heat.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) unveiled the khaki Firefighting Protective Suit (FFPS) in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Feb 1).
“Beyond the new look, the FFPS also serve functional purposes such as better protection from extreme heat and environmental conditions, and increased visibility in low light conditions,” it said.
The new suits have “highly breathable” fabric layers that reduce heat stress and improve flame protection to enhance safety, while being more durable due to its increased abrasion resistance.
