Tyne and Wear supply smoke hoods

摘要

The hoods are designed to give those being rescued 15 minutes of protection from smoke filled buildings. They provide members of the public with clean air in smoke filled environments, thereby aiding their escape and lessening their chances of succumbing to smoke inhalation. They will also help firefighters to rescue people from fires where the escape route is affected by a toxic atmosphere and can give the officer in charge of an incident further options to help carry out safe rescues.
