Firefighter
"Firewatch" indicators provide extra protection for fire-fighters
In discussions with the fire service, a
request to devise a method of monitoring outside temperatures in a real fire situation has
become a necessary requirement, as each fireman approaches a fire with the uncertainty of
the temperatures that might be present in the environment.
Two enlarged thermometer strips were devised and mounted onto the
fireman’s glove giving 4 levels of indication in regards to temperatures being
received on the fireman’s glove "left" and "right" hand
Such indicators were envisaged as being a necessary tool for
fire-fighters equipment because the fire suits each fire man wears totally cocoons their
bodies from the outside world.
