The Fire House dummies demonstrate a good balance between temperature and abrasion resistance.  They are weighted to produce an anatomically correct weight distribution and the 'feel' of an unconscious patient.

The dummy carcass is constructed using heavy duty canvas, reinforced with 38mm Nomex® webbing as opposed to the polypropylene webbing found on the general purpose range – standard Polypropylene webbing will go brittle and melt at the high temperatures this manikin is designed to withstand.

The outer protective overalls are constructed using a Nomex blend material (the material of choice for most fire tunic manufacturers) which conforms to EN11612 and offers good protection against high temperatures - it is permanently non-flammable and most commonly used in protective clothing to protect against heat and flames.

The protective overalls are also reinforced using Nomex webbing to improve the abrasion resistance and strength – the overalls are fitted using 20mm Kevlar ties, as the standard Velcro fastening melt at these high temperatures. The ends of the arms, which have been identified as a high wear area, are reinforced with 5mm leather to provide extra protection.
