Fire Investigation PPE

Purpose-Built Protection for Fire Investigators

For years, fire investigators have had to settle for gear that wasn’t made for the job. Bulky turnouts that slow you down. Station wear that leaves you exposed. Cobbled together bits of gear without any useful features.

That ends now.

Fire-Dex’s patent-pending Fire Investigation PPE is the first gear built specifically for fire investigators. We worked side-by-side with professionals across the country to design gear that delivers exactly what you need: protection without the weight, breathability without compromise, and mobility without skimping on features.

Certified to NFPA 1951. Patent-pending design.

Why Fire Investigation PPE Is Different

Fire investigators want gear that is lightweight, breathable, and has features tailored for your work. Fire-Dex's Fire Investigation PPE was made to solve that need. Every detail is engineered to help you move freely, avoid overheating, keep dry, and stay safe. 

Whether you’re crawling through debris, documenting evidence, or need extra security, this gear moves with you, protects you, and keeps you focused on the job. 

It’s everything you need—and nothing you don’t. 

Key Features

Waterproof Cellphone Pocket

You rely on your phone to document the scene—your gear should support that. That’s why we built in a waterproof pocket (protected by a GORE® CROSSTECH® S/R moisture barrier) on the jacket’s left chest designed for quick access and rugged protection. Whether you're capturing evidence or communicating in the field, your device stays secure and shielded from the elements. 

Jacket Vent

Built with our AeroVent® Technology—the same innovation behind our AeroFlex® turnouts—this back vent delivers serious airflow where you need it most. It’s fitted with particulate-blocking protection to keep harmful contaminants out while releasing trapped heat. The result? Cooler, safer, and more breathable gear. 

Firearm Pass-Through Pocket

When seconds count, quick access matters. The patent pending design of our firearm pocket offers secure firearm carry; a zipper makes firearm retrieval easy and gives the option to either stow or show. It can also be used as a handy ID display, so you’re always preparedno matter the environment. 

Smart Waterproofing

We strategically placed a GORE® CROSSTECH® S/R moisture barrier where you need it most (like the rear and knees), so you’re not soaked after navigating wet scenes. Areas that don’t need full waterproofing (like the thighs) stay single-layered for maximum breathability. 

Integrated Knee

Comfort where it counts—especially when you're down on your hands and knees. Whether you're crawling through tight spaces or collecting evidence on rough terrain, these built-in knee pads provide critical protection and cushioning. Designed for long hours and demanding investigations, they reduce knee strain without restricting your movement when it’s time to get back on your feet. 

Ready for the Real Work

Fire investigation is demanding. Your gear should be too.  

Don’t settle for substitutions; ask for the right gear so that you can concentrate on your job, not what you’re wearing.
