Improved Firefighters' Crash-Rescue Boots (Feasibility Study).

Abstract

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) has established the feasibility of using commercial insulated firefighters' boots and reflective spats to protect feet of crash-crew firefighters performing rescue operations in critical fire areas. Tests suggest that boot insulation and reflective covering on boots should enable feet to withstand high radiant heat for several minutes.
