Why firefighter’s base layer apparel matters.
Prior to my employment as a career firefighter, I marketed firefighter PPE and was a firm believer that it did NOT matter what a firefighter wore under their PPE. But during my employment I witnessed a procedure where a colleague was severely burned and the burn center had to remove his regular base layer shirt from his skin.
After that, I became a believer in what is worn under a firefighter’s PPE DID matter. From that point on, I swore that I would find an economical solution to help my brothers and sisters. This led to the creation of the Ignis Line Flame-Resistant Base Layer Shirt. This shirt is marketed for more than 30% less than other Flame-Resistant Base Layer Shirts. Currently only $40-$43 on Kickstarter.
Please let me know your thoughts and if you are interested.
