Hot Shield® began in 1993 by two firefighters searching for a face mask that would protect the face & neck & lungs on a wildfire operation. They saw the damage done to several local firefighters who suffered severe burns after being overrun by fast moving brush fires. They began to experiment with mask ideas & fire industry fabrics. After much trial and error they developed a face mask that could withstand both blowtorch flames & reduce the inhalation of soot & ash. Frefighters who used the mask raved about the unmatched protection and the unique design received a US Patent.
Hot Shield continues to innovate in the wildland firefighter industry, with several different models that work with industry leading respirator companies, such as Drager & Sundstrom.
Stay out of the hospital, avoid workers comp and live to fight another day!
