From the day fire was found by man' the next thing to look at, might have been safety from it. A lot of research has been done to find materials which are safe from it. As a result of this extensive research a number of fire resistant and fire retardant clothing have been produced. The heat resistant material does not get inflamed at all but the heat retardant material might catch fire but it will retard the it in the process. It has become necessary to have standard firefighting systems installed in public places and factories where the safety of the people inside has to be ensured. Companies maintain specially trained teams of firefighters and conduct regular exercises. When an alarm sets off the entire work force has to be evacuated to designated and demarcated areas while the trained firefighting teams attends to the job. At the same time the local fire brigade is alerted via specially designed communication systems. In these exercises the firefighters wear special firefighting gear. They include the firefighters' helmets, heat resistant clothes, gloves and goggles. The firefighters' cloths are manufactured using special fire retardant clothing or fire resistant material. These fire resistant materials are produced using different techniques. The materials used too differ according to the fabric. Most widely used materials are the synthetic polymers. Tavron is the brand name of one of the widely used polymers which is used to produce heat resistant helmets and flame resistant clothing. Nomex is another brand name of popular heat resistant clothing material. This is almost the same material as Tavron but manufactured by a different company using a different technique. In combination with fire extinguishers and fire alarm systems the present day fire fighters with their uniforms made with heat resistant material could wage war with any blaze.
