1. Clothes to be worn during wild land fire
fighting

• A wild land fire or a forest fire is an
  uncontrollable fire in a wild habitat arising out
  of dried branches, bushes, or twigs catching
  fire. These types of fire are very destructive as
  well as dangerous. As mentioned above, they can
  easily spiral out of control and as such require
  extreme courage and dexterity of fire fighters to
  put them out.

• These types of fires are generally controlled
  by spraying of water and other chemical fire
  retardant from above the sky by helicopters or
  smaller planes. firefighter clothing usually
  control such fires by creating a control line, a
  process of removing those items from the path of
  fire that may provide it extra strength.
• It can be exceptionally dangerous and
  firefighters need special fire fighting coverall
  for effective protection. These coverall come
  with action back pleats, flap covered breast,
  entry, and side and patch pockets along with
  brass zippers and Velcro fastened leg hams.

2. Structural Fire Fighting Clothes
Structural fire fighting is around the year job
as opposed to forest fire, which usually occurs
during the dry season. In addition, structural
fire fighting is more dangerous than open
firefighting as the firefighter battling a fire
in a building or any other structure runs
significant risk of debris falling on them.

• Firefighters battling structural fires need
  items of clothing and equipment that can help
  them effectively battle the inferno without any
  fear or threat of physical injury.
• One important structural firefighting item of
  clothing is fire hood. Made of high-quality,
  anti-static fiber, it offers low heat
  conductivity and excellent moisture management
