firefighter mask

Smoke protection gear

A firefighter mask is the protective face covering worn by firefighters, typically part of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) that supplies clean air in smoke-filled environments.

The mask seals against the face and connects to an air tank, allowing firefighters to breathe safely while battling blazes or conducting rescues.

The firefighter adjusted his mask before entering the burning building.
