Wildland turnouts, also known as wildland firefighting gear or PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), are specialized protective clothing designed for firefighters who battle wildfires or wildland fires. These turnouts are specifically designed to provide firefighters with enhanced protection against the unique hazards encountered in wildland firefighting situations.
Wildland turnouts typically consist of several components:
1. Jacket: The jacket is typically made of fire-resistant materials and is designed to provide protection for the upper body. It often includes features such as a full-length front zipper, adjustable cuffs, and pockets for storing essential tools and equipment.
2. Pants: The pants are also made of fire-resistant materials and are designed to offer protection for the lower body. They usually feature reinforced knees and seat areas for increased durability.
3. Helmet: Wildland firefighting helmets are lightweight and offer protection against falling debris and impacts. They often come with a wide brim to shield the face and neck from heat and flames.
4. Boots: Wildland firefighting boots are specially designed to provide excellent traction and ankle support on uneven terrain. They are typically made of fire-resistant materials and offer increased protection against heat and flames.
5. Gloves: Fire-resistant gloves are essential for protecting the hands and maintaining dexterity while handling tools and equipment in a wildland firefighting environment.
6. Additional Accessories: Depending on the specific needs of the firefighting operation, additional accessories like goggles, ear protection, and respiratory protection may be used to ensure maximum safety and comfort.
It’s crucial for firefighters to wear proper wildland turnouts to minimize the risk of injuries and burns while working in challenging and unpredictable wildfire conditions.

Drip Torches & Parts. Drip torches are essential tools used by firefighters in controlled or prescribed burns. These handheld devices consist of a fuel reservoir and a wick mechanism.
The fuel, typically a mixture of diesel and gasoline, is gravity-fed through the wick and ignited to create a controlled flame. Drip torches serve several important purposes for firefighters – igniting fires during prescribed burns, and creating backfires or spot burns, and in backfiring operations. 
Drip torches play a crucial role in safely initiating and managing these operations, because they provide a reliable and versatile method of starting and controlling fires in a controlled and safe manner.
Fire Extinguishers. Fire extinguishers allow firefighters to promptly and efficiently extinguish smaller fires, preventing them from spreading and causing further damage or endangering lives. Firefighters rely on these portable devices to rapidly combat fires, buy valuable time, and protect both property and individuals until additional support arrives.
The ability to quickly assess a fire situation and utilize fire extinguishers is a crucial tool in a firefighter’s toolbox. Additionally, fire extinguishers can be easily transported and used in various settings, making them a versatile and essential piece of equipment for firefighters. Their accessibility and simplicity make them a valuable asset in the firefighting profession.
When it comes to fighting fires, the basic concept of using water to extinguish the flames is often understood. However, the process is much more complex than may initially meet the eye.
The specific tools utilized, such as the hose and nozzle, play a crucial role in the effectiveness of the firefighting efforts.
In addition, the characteristics of the site must be taken into account. For example, if there are bystanders nearby, reducing steam is essential to prevent injuries. Similarly, if the fire is located on the upper floors of an apartment building, responders must be able to navigate the stairs quickly and efficiently while carrying heavy equipment.
Meanwhile, tackling a wildlands fire requires a specialized hose that can handle a multitude of factors, such as rough terrain, wind-blown debris, and extreme temperatures.
Overall, the seemingly simple concept of using water to extinguish a fire requires extensive knowledge and strategy. At Ethos Fire, we have the knowledge to help you with the nozzles and hose to plan your best firefighting strategy!
