This fire shelter provides added protection from direct flame, reflects
radiant heat, and traps breathable air. The outer layer is comprised of
aluminum foil which reflects radiant heat and woven silica cloth which
slows the passage of heat to the inside of the shelter.
The outer layer
of foil reflects approximately 95 percent of radiant heat. The shelter’s
inner layer is constructed of fiberglass laminated to aluminum foil
which prevents heat from being re-radiated to the person inside the
shelter. Shake handles allow for fast deployment while rounded ends
scatter radiant heat.
A large size shelter is available for individuals
taller than 6 feet 1 inch or whose girth is larger than 53 inches at any
point. Girth should be measured around the shoulder area with your arms
at your side.
Each shelter includes a nylon carrying case, hard plastic
liner, and 26 minute instructional DVD (with audio in both English and
Spanish) which demonstrates proper deployment technique as well as
common mistakes to avoid.
