Fireproof curtains for vehicles: Vital protection against wildfires
In the most extreme wildfire scenarios, intervention vehicles are exposed to temperatures that can exceed 1,000 °C. In such moments, the cabin’s interior protection can make the difference between life and death. The FS5 Fireproof Curtains for Vehicles from ISK Fire Survival are specifically designed for this purpose — to provide a certified thermal barrier that ensures crew survival in critical entrapment situations.
These curtains are part of the Integral Safety Kit, the most advanced self-protection system for forest firefighting teams. They are installed inside the vehicle or heavy machinery cabin, where their main function is to thermally insulate the interior, reducing the impact of both radiant and convective heat.
Fireproof Curtains for Vehicles: Multilayer Technology with European Certification
The FS5 curtains are made with a four-layer fire-resistant fabric, edged in Kevlar, combining high-strength materials with a design focused on maximum protection:
- Outer layers: engineered to reflect radiant heat.
- Inner layers: equipped with an advanced thermal barrier that reduces temperature transmission.
The entire assembly is certified by ENAC-accredited laboratories, compliant with UNE EN ISO 11612 and EN 469/A1 standards, guaranteeing optimal performance under direct flame exposure.
Adaptable Design and Rapid Deployment
The FS5 curtains feature a mounting system with reinforced eyelets on Kevlar strips and high-visibility flame-retardant Velcro, allowing for quick and effective deployment from inside the vehicle. They are available in different models depending on the type of vehicle:
- FS5L: light vehicles
- FS5H: heavy vehicles
- FS5M: heavy machinery
Comprehensive In-Vehicle Protection
When combined with other elements of the Integral Safety Kit — such as the FS1 Integral Self-Protection Nozzle or the FS4 Fireproof Side Skirts — the FS5 curtains create a secure environment inside the vehicle, reducing thermal radiation exposure and providing crucial survival and evacuation time for personnel.
ISK Commitment: Fireproof Curtains for Vehicles
ISK Fire Survival develops solutions designed to protect lives under extreme conditions, backed by technology, expertise, and European certifications. The FS5 fireproof curtains are an essential component of the self-protection strategy for forest firefighting teams, ensuring that crews always return home safely.
