Today’s fires burn hotter than ever, largely due to modern construction and home furnishing materials. Therefore, a fire fighter is more likely to encounter a superheated environment or a flashover scenario. The problems associated with wet turnout gear should be obvious under these circumstances; therefore, having “dry gear” is even more critical to fire fighter safety than ever before. Over a decade ago, Lion first introduced the only proven solution to the problems of wet gear in turnouts: isodri®  Read more. 

Fire Engineering’s September issue includes a Globe-sponsored poster insert with a reference to a Globe-sponsored article on doffing superheated gear (check out the IsoDri logo on his sleeve). While we’re not surprised to see another “sponsored by Globe” thumbprint, we recognize that it takes a high degree of responsibility to the science of protecting fire fighters for Globe to underscore the risks of wet gear, even though they don’t yet have a solution beyond careful doffing. 

The doffing poster specifically calls out “dry” messages that should be familiar to you:

*The last “wet gear” bullet hasn’t been a part of Lion’s representations about isodri®, but it makes sense and is undoubtedly one of the reasons that our gear performs so well in live training situations.
