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.
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 prepared—no 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.
