The Experimental MOD III Firefighter's Aluminized, Crash-Rescue, Fire- Proximity Hood.

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.
