The Paris Fire Brigade (BSPP) asked to optimise the safety of its men. That includes thermal protection by increasing their escape time, maximising visibility, reducing heat stress and improving ergonomics. The colour of the BSPP’s garments, the third largest fire brigade in the world, used to be blue. Thanks to thorough research on visibility, Sioen Fire suggested to change to red, which they did. Over 9.000 firemen are now using this suit. You might have seen firefighters wearing this suit on footage of the Notre Dame fire.
