Firefighters Keep You Safe

Firefighters help people. They are brave and strong. They use big trucks and special tools. They wear gear to stay safe. Firefighting is hard work. You must have everything you need to do the job.

CLW GROUP can help. We are a special truck company. We make strong trucks. We make trucks your way. We build, deliver, and take care of your vehicles. Let me show you what firefighters need and how we help.

What Does a Firefighter Use?

Let's look at the must-have tools and gear for every firefighter. See which ones you know!

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Firefighters wear PPE. PPE keeps them safe from heat, smoke, and sharp things.

  • Turnout gear (Coat and Pants): Keeps heat and water out.
  • Helmet: Protects the head from hits or heat.
  • Gloves: Save hands from burns and cuts.
  • Boots: Stop feet from being burned or poked.
  • Hood: Keeps neck and ears safe.
  • Eye protection: Like goggles, keeps eyes safe from dust and fire.

PPE is important. Fire can burn fast. Good gear makes a huge difference. PPE needs to be checked often. Each part of the suit, like the moisture barrier, must work well so no one gets hurt.

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)

Firefighters can breathe fresh air with SCBA, even when smoke fills a room.

  • Facepiece: Covers the face, lets in air.
  • Harness and Backplate: Holds the air tank.
  • Air Cylinder: Has clean air inside.
  • Regulator: Gives the right amount of air.
  • PASS Device: Makes a loud sound if a firefighter stops moving.

SCBA saves lives in smoke and gas. Did you know, air tanks last about 15 years? They get tested to make sure they are safe.

Fire Suppression and Core Tools

Tools help firefighters open doors, put out fires, and ventilate smoke.

  • Fire hoses: Bring water to the fire.
  • Nozzles: Control the water spray. (Some nozzles make fog, some are smooth.)
  • Forcible entry tools: Like the Halligan and fire axe, open locked doors and windows.
  • Ventilation tools: Such as an axe or ventilation saw, help clear smoke by cutting holes.

CLW GROUP trucks carry all these tools. They have space for hoses, axes, and more. We make trucks that fit your needs. Do you want a special hose? We can add it!

Communication and Safety Tools

Firefighters need to talk to each other. Safety depends on teamwork.

  • Two-way radios: Let firefighters talk during an emergency.
  • Accountability system: Keeps track of everyone. Lets the chief know who enters and leaves.

CLW GROUP fire trucks can come with the newest radios. We help you stay connected. Communication keeps you safer.

Rescue and Medical Equipment

Sometimes, firefighters save people in cars or buildings. They bring special tools.

  • Search rope: Helps find the way out in smoke.
  • Thermal imaging camera (TIC): Finds people or fire using heat.
  • First aid kit: Fixes cuts or helps breathing.
  • Hydraulic extrication tools (Jaws of Life): Open crushed cars.
  • Cribbing, ladders, flashlights: Help in rescues.

Every truck from CLW GROUP has room for rescue tools. Do you want something special? Let us add it.

Other Special Gear

Fire trucks need to be ready for anything.

  • Ladders of all sizes
  • Hydrant tools for water supply
  • HazMat suits for chemical spills
  • Technical rescue gear

Some fires happen outdoors. Wildland firefighters use backpack pumps, shelters, and chain saws.

Why Good Equipment Matters

Using the right gear keeps firefighters safer. Things go wrong fast in a fire. If a boot leaks, a helmet cracks, or a radio fails, things can get bad. A PASS device or SCBA can mean life or death.
