Fireman's Heat Protective Clothing Outfit is a specialized type of clothing designed to protect firefighters from heat, flames, and other hazardous conditions. It falls under the supply class Clothing, Special Purpose, which is part of the supply group Clothing, Individual Equipment, Insignia, and Jewelry.
This outfit typically includes several components to ensure maximum protection for firefighters. Here are some common elements of a Fireman's Heat Protective Clothing Outfit:
1. Fire-resistant outer shell: The outer layer of the clothing is made from fire-resistant materials such as Nomex or Kevlar. This helps to prevent the clothing from catching fire and provides a barrier against heat and flames.

3. Moisture barrier: Firefighters often encounter water or other liquids while working, so the outfit includes a moisture barrier layer. This layer prevents water from penetrating the clothing while still allowing sweat and moisture to escape, keeping the firefighter dry and comfortable.
4. Reflective trim: To enhance visibility in low-light conditions, the outfit may have reflective trim or strips. This helps other emergency personnel to easily identify and locate the firefighter.
5. Helmet and face shield: Firefighters wear a heat-resistant helmet with a face shield to protect their head, face, and eyes from heat, debris, and other hazards.
6. Gloves and boots: The outfit includes heat-resistant gloves and boots to protect the hands and feet from burns and other injuries.
