In 1866, Chief Fire Officer Captain Sir Eyre Massey Shaw introduced a new uniform consisting of a blue double-breasted serge tunic and trousers.
Each firefighter would have carried an axe and a hose spanner.
The firefighter would also wear a number on their tunic. This number represented a person's rank and the number decreased as their seniority increased.
A change to the leggings (1914 - 1974)
A change to the leggings (1914 - 1974)
In 1914, rubber leggings were introduced.
The woollen trousers were easily waterlogged and became very heavy as a result.
The new rubber leggings kept legs dry, and were much lighter than wool when wet.
Iconic yellow leggings (1974 - 1989)
Iconic yellow leggings (1974 - 1989)
In 1974, the wool tunic stayed but the black rubber leggings were phased out and replaced with the iconic yellow leggings.
The bright yellow leggings helped with visibility in smoke filled rooms.
The first Nomex suit (1989 - 1999)
The first Nomex suit (1989 - 1999)
The first Nomex suit was introduced in 1989.
The fabric offered far greater protection from the heat and flames of the fire and was waterproof.
These were the first suits that had the same protection in the coat and the trousers.
The 'inferno' (1999 - 2010)
The Inferno (1999 - 2010)
In 1999, the Inferno was phased into service.
This maroon suit was more pliable and heat resistant than the previous suit. This allowed firefighters easier movement and the ability to stay in hot conditions for longer.
The suit has three layers: fireproof, waterproof and thermal protection.
The Ergotech Action (2010 - 2018)
The Ergotech Action (2010 - 2018)
Introduced in 2010, this personal protective equipment (PPE) was made of the lightest, most protective materials possible at the time.
The Ergotech Action design included many features to increase the comfort for firefighters, such as action pleats, shaped sleeves and knees.
Today's design - 2018 to present day
Today's design (October 2018)
The 'gold standard' of modernised personal protective equipment (PPE) reflects the changing role of the modern firefighter.
The light colour of the ‘Titan 1260 fabric with PBI fibres in the gold colour will show contamination easier than the previous dark blue PPE. This will allow firefighters to see any carbon contamination or general detritus at an earlier stage and send the items for cleaning.
The ‘X-Flex’ range selected, is lighter than our previous PPE, has action pleats in the coat to allow more movement and the tough outer shell offers good air circulation enhanced breathability and comfort . The outer shell of the garments offer the maximum thermal protection available, whilst minimising the risk of heat stress.
The Rosenbauer helmet is fitted with an integrated torch in the crest to light up the firefighters working area.
The gloves are made of a Nomex and Elk leather combination, which allows for them to be washed in a washing machine and all contamination removed. Currently gloves are washed locally at the station, but they don’t come up as clean as the new ‘gold’ ones will.
The PPE can be used at any incident the London Fire Brigade attends and firefighters have been additionally issued with a pair of ‘Rescue Gloves’. These are a lighter glove that can be used for all incidents that don’t involve fire and give a greater dexterity and improve the health and safety for the user to handle smaller equipment
If I ruled the world, I would make all people around the world to pay attention on ecology problem and creating new technologies. I suggest they are closely associated with each other. People, who are very curious and greedy by the nature, always try to interfere in mechanism of life and process functioning on the Earth, to get or to make up new type of endless energy, to get superior or to become immortal. There is no doubt, it will have a positive result for humanity, bur for the nature it will be in a different way. To begin with technologies those have harmed both nature and humility at the moment.In the 20th century people found new type of energy and its application. Nuclear weapon, nuclear power plant became the first step to launch a mechanism of planet destroying. Countries, who had got nuclear arms, began to experiment it in the outer space, destroying our planet protect shield and making ozone holes unconsciously. To sum up global warming appeared. Nuclear disaster in Japan and Chernobyl, giving the same status as world problems, is not an exception. In the issue them a great number of people were killed and large surface of the Earth were infected. That`s not the half of it.Oil is resource of the Earth, which we used for destroying our planet too. Cars which are working on gasoline, every day secrete million tons of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, which create greenhouse effect. This is the second reason of global warming.Large Hadron Collider has very large and terrible name, as I think.This thing is really dangerous. Scientists say that if it is accident till elementary particle will be running, it will create black hole, which will bring to destruction of the Earth and the Universe. But if it isn’t happened, humility will get new type of energy or something else.By the other hand, there are good deal countries, which try to renew natural resources, to use them carefully or in other way. They develop such technologies, which don’t nave dab influence on the nature: wind-powered stations or which work on the solar energy, and of course cleaning buildings. I suggest that all people from pupil till aged people have ever bedded tree into the soil. This is donation to renewing too, but smaller. My Biology teacher said me that we should thing global, but should act local, because everything starts with the little.In conclusion I want to say than it is necessary that we should not live only by our life, but also Mother Nature life, that gave us life and opportunity to live. Nobody don’t tell what will be in the future but it is high time we took care of our planet, until it will be late. And last one, everything must be within reasonable limits.
