Description
In emergencies, firefighters protect themselves inside the M2002 fire shelter. This shelter weighs 4.4 LBS. And is carried below their pack where IT can be quickly accessed. From 2005 to 2020, fire shelters were deployed 202 times, and saved lives or prevented injury, 90% of the time. The opportunity exists to further improve the fire shelter design so IT works even more than 90% of the time. Recent advances in materials developed for NASA RE-entry vehicles suggest that a very thin, light layer of insulation could be added to increase protection.
