The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) is carrying out a research based project to assess the personal protective equipment (PPE) needs of our firefighters of the future.
This project will look at fire service uniform and personal protective equipment (excluding breathing apparatus) to ensure that it is fit for purpose leading into 2030 and beyond. You can read more about the project on the NFCC's website.
This is your opportunity to share your views on your existing PPE and outline what you would like to see in the future.
The survey closes on October 21 2022.
