Equipment Advisory 22-03: Performance Differences Between Pre- and Post-2006 Fire Shelters

EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE (ETC)

Recent analysis of fire shelter deployments confirms that design improvements implemented in 2006 provide an increased margin of safety for firefighters. Fire shelters manufactured prior to 2006 function as intended but may experience greater delamination when deployed. This bulletin provides technical information to support agency-specific decision-making regarding replacement of fire shelters manufactured prior to 2006.

National Wildfire Coordinating Group

Our mission is to provide national leadership to enable interoperable wildland fire operations among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. NWCG operations standards are interagency by design; they are developed with the intent of universal adoption by the member agencies. However, the decision to adopt and utilize them is made independently by the individual member agencies and communicated through their respective directives systems.
