Respiratory protection for bush fire fighters is something we only just started getting serious about in Australia last summer. I started wearing a reusable P3 respirator on the fireground about this time last year and found it made a massive difference to my recovery in the few days after a fire.

From what I understand about the way things are done in the US most people don’t even wear a disposable P2. Hopefully articles like this start generating a conversation both within the fire services and amongst the people they protect.
