This is conventional equipment. The yellow helmet was also a symbol of the British firefighter.


And this is a new model. Large eyeball and nose lineDarth VaderI like it. Made by MSA of France one 130 pounds (about 20,000 yen). Even if it is made of special heat-resistant resin and exposed to heat of 1,000 degrees Celsius it is possible to keep the internal temperature at 35 degrees. The protective surface is coated with gold to prevent strong heat and light such as ultraviolet rays.


A yellow bar attached to the side is a flashlight. It seems that it also has heat resistance up to 300 degrees Celsius. By the way, I thought "helmet is stronger than metal?", But he seems to have been abolished at the beginning of the 20th century due to a series of electric shock accidents at the fire site.


It seems that there are also concerns that the design is similar to the motorcycle helmet, so it may be confusing at the traffic accident site ...... However, as the safety has increased due to the improvement of the internal structure, it is generally favorably accepted on site It is said that it is.
