Firefighting equipment in different situations!

Fires don’t only start in building or other constructions. Fire can also start in forests or other natural environments. Fires starts as well as spreads differently in different environments depending on the area the fire has started along with the environments atmospheric moisture and the flow of air. In order for firefighters to extinguish different fires they have to be prepared for anything as fighting fires is an unpredictable thing.

A firefighter can be prepared for such situations through the firefighter equipment that one is using. These firefighting equipments are different for each other and they are to be used in the specific situations that they are made for. Firefighting equipments for fighting natural fires are different from the ones that are used when extinguishing fires occurring in buildings or other constructs. When facing a fire in a forest one should understand that the fire will spread rapidly because trees and other plants can catch fire rapidly. When wood burns, more smoke is produced as well. That is why when fighting fires in forests, one need to wear proper protective gear that includes a battalion duty jacket, as well as the dual safety jacket along with fire proof goggles. 

Visibility is less in such situations that is why proper flashlights are also a standard issue when facing fires in forests. All of the equipments along with the protective clothing are heat resistant. Helmets are also an important equipment to protect the firefighter from falling objects such as branches etc. As fire tends to spread rapidly in forests, a chain saw can also be used to cut down trees that are present in the way of the spreading fire as to stop the fire from spreading further in the forest. As it is quite hard to extinguish fires in forests through traditional methods such as the firefighting trucks, firefighting helicopters are used when fighting forest fires. These helicopters drop water as well fire extinguishing materials from the top in order to kill off the fire and stop it from spreading further.

            When facing fires in buildings, fire trucks are used to throw water onto the burning building along with the extendable ladders that the trucks have attached to them. As people are mostly caught in burning buildings, the firefighting equipments include tools meant for saving, lives. These equipments include hand held axes meant for breaking down wooden doors. Hand held hammers for breaking walls if it is important for one to get to the other side.  The other equipments include helmets, protective outfits as well as a small breathing apparatus and flashlights. There are a lot firefighting equipments and each performs a different function. That is why firefighters train for years in order for them to learn which equipment should be used in which situation.
