Fire Fighter Tools

There are lots of fire fighter tools that are needed by fire departments. Some of these are things that anyone would recognize such as helmets and boots. Other items such as masks and the special axes they carry might seem a little more foreign to the average person.

Knives and hammers are a couple types of fire fighter tools that they regularly carry with them. If they respond to a car crash, sometimes firefighters need to be able to quickly break a window and cut seatbelt off of a person. There are a lot of small specialized tools like this that they can keep on them to make their job safer and easier.

Some fire fighter tools are not very well known because they are not in wide-spread use yet. A good example is LED beacons that firefighters can place at key exits so that they can find them again easily. While there are many tools that are not being used because of their newness and price, we may start seeing them in action more often as time goes on.
