Abstract:

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility NCTRF has developed the experimental Mod III Firefighters Aluminized Crash-Rescue Fire-Proximity Hood, which improves upon the standard firefighters aluminized hood MIL-H- 29144. Reports from the firefighting community have indicated that the standard hood is not compatible with the current self-contained breathing apparatus. To allow for the self-contained breathing apparatus, a new aluminum frame with a greater front radius has been developed, and a liftup visor with an enlarged area for improved vision and voice communications has been incorporated in the experimental hood.
