Firefighting

Structural Firefighting

Bruck engineered solutions are much more than just fabrics – they’re systems. The overall performance of your turnout gear is the sum of each individual layer. For this reason, we are continually evolving fabrics whose high performance properties can be synergised from the inner most lining, through the thermal and moisture barriers, to the outer shell.

Tough, durable and dependable systems are extremely important, as is how your gear feels against the skin and moves with your body. Our systems minimise weight and maximise breathability, thereby minimising metabolic heat stress, while you remain protected from flame, radiant heat, and chemical splash. Bruck products are proven tough to withstand the challenges of Structural Firefighting.

Bruck partners with the global leaders in inherent flame retardant fibre technology and high quality yarn producers to bring you the ENFORCER® and FORTRESS® collection of outer shells and the INSUL-TEX® range of thermal liners and scrims.

Wildland Firefighting

Our fabrics see action in diverse terrains and climates so our range reflects the specific needs of you, our customer.
