Greater Manchester FRS adopts Bristol's new layered firefighter garments

An innovative layered approach to garment design sees Greater Manchester become the first UK fire and rescue service to meet all its response duties in one garment in which the different levels and types of protection for structural, USAR and wildland are met through wearing different combinations of outer and under garments. The contract for the 3200 sets of the XFlex/RescueFlex™ layered garments was confirmed recently.
