Fire Fighting Paneled Shield

Fire Fighting Paneled Shields are a type of protective equipment used in firefighting operations. They are designed to provide a barrier between firefighters and the intense heat, flames, and radiant energy generated during a fire. These shields are typically made of heat-resistant materials such as fiberglass or Kevlar and are equipped with handles or straps for easy handling.

The paneled design of these shields allows for flexibility and maneuverability, enabling firefighters to effectively protect themselves while performing their duties. They are often used in situations where direct exposure to flames or extreme heat is anticipated, such as during structural firefighting or when approaching a burning vehicle.

Fire Fighting Paneled Shields are an essential component of firefighting equipment as they provide an additional layer of protection for firefighters, reducing the risk of burns and injuries. They are classified under the supply class Firefighting Equipment in the supply group Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.
