Fire helmet from the USA. Manufacturer of the red polycarbonat helmet is the company Cairns & Brothers, USA. The helmet type is called: "900P" The two helmet types 900P and 910P were manufactured since the beginning of 1962. They follow the phenolic resin helmets of the "FlintFlex" series produced since 1935 (see helmets 0672, 0693, 0692, 0446, USA). The lightweight helmet has 8 low combs on the top and an edge protection profile which is attached all around. On the front is the leather front shield of a HazMat Captain of Station 1. The HazMat unit is part of the West Webster Fire Department in New York State. The fire department has three fire stations. Station 1 houses Squad 127 and the HazMat unit. See helmet number 0723, USA. Explanation of HazMat from Wikipedia: Dangerous goods are solids, liquids or gases that can harm people, other living things, property or the environment. They are often subject to chemical regulations. In the United States, the United Kingdom and sometimes Canada, dangerous goods are more commonly known as hazardous substances (abbreviated to HAZMAT or Hazmat). Hazmat teams are specially trained people to handle dangerous goods containing radioactive, combustible, explosive, corrosive, oxidizing, asphyxial, biohazardous, toxic, pathogenic or allergenic substances. Also included are physical conditions such as compressed gases and liquids or hot materials, including any goods containing such materials or chemicals, or may have other properties that make them hazardous under certain circumstances. In Germany, these tasks are handled by the Environmental Protection Group, the Hazardous Substances Group and, in particular, by the ABC Group. In Germany, the firefighters are trained in dealing with these materials. They use suitable and equipped trucks for this. |
