Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FIRE-DEX from 3G Electric.
What types of FIRE-DEX fire helmets does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies FIRE-DEX fire helmets in fiberglass shell construction with either traditional rear brim or modern rear brim designs. Available colors include black, yellow, red, and white. All helmets include a chin strap and suspension system. These helmets are suitable for structural firefighting and rescue operations. Specific models include SKUs such as 13P363, 13P341, 13P351, and others. 3G Electric can source additional FIRE-DEX helmet models upon request.
What is the difference between traditional and modern rear brim FIRE-DEX helmets?
FIRE-DEX traditional rear brim helmets have a longer brim that extends further at the back, providing additional protection for the neck from debris, water, and embers. Modern rear brim helmets have a shorter, streamlined brim that reduces the risk of snagging on equipment and offers a lighter profile. Both styles are available in fiberglass shells with chin straps and suspension systems. The choice depends on departmental preference and specific operational needs.
Are FIRE-DEX helmets compliant with NFPA standards?
FIRE-DEX manufactures fire helmets that meet or exceed relevant NFPA standards, such as NFPA 1971 for structural firefighting and NFPA 1977 for wildland firefighting. However, compliance varies by specific model and configuration. 3G Electric recommends verifying the exact standard for each helmet model. Certification details can be provided upon request. Always ensure that the helmet you select is appropriate for your intended application and meets your local requirements.
Can I order FIRE-DEX helmets in custom colors or with specific accessories?
FIRE-DEX offers helmets in standard colors including black, yellow, red, and white. Custom colors may be available depending on order quantity and lead time. Accessories such as face shields, goggles, and ear protection can be added. 3G Electric can assist with configuring helmets to your specifications. Contact 3G Electric for details on available options, minimum order quantities, and lead times for custom orders.
How do I determine the correct size for a FIRE-DEX fire helmet?
FIRE-DEX helmets feature adjustable suspension systems to accommodate a range of head sizes. Proper fit is critical for protection. Measure the circumference of the head at the widest point, typically just above the ears and eyebrows. Compare this measurement to the manufacturer's sizing chart. 3G Electric can provide sizing guidance and may offer samples for trial. Adjust the suspension and chin strap for a secure, comfortable fit that allows for additional layers such as hoods.
