Firefighter Gloves
Firefighters use their hands often, which means they need gloves that provide extensive protection. Finding the right structural and extrication gloves is simple with Bunker Gear Specialists. Keeping your hands safe allows you to work harder and help those in need.
Structural Firefighter Gloves at Bunker Gear Specialists
Fighting in or near a structural fire requires a protective pair of gloves. All structural firefighting gloves should meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Structural gloves need to protect you from the environment, extreme heat, physical and bloodborne hazards. Newer updates to NFPA standards for structural gloves also require:
- Increased protection from burns, specifically on the back of the hand.
- Better glove sizing guidelines.
- Safer liquid barriers that prevent liquid and bloodborne pathogens for up to one hour.
Firefighter Extrication Gloves
Firefighters may need to extricate a victim from an accident, such as in the case of a car accident or vehicle fire. There are several hazards in these situations, including glass shards and metal that can puncture your gloves or otherwise cause injuries. Extrication gloves help prevent cuts, scratches and other abrasions while you complete your job.
Since many firefighters respond to incidents other than fires, they need a glove that protects their skin during any hazard. Firefighter extrication gloves are an excellent, versatile choice since they're puncture- and abrasion-resistant.
