Cooling strategies for firefighters! Keeping cardiovascular and thermoregulatory strain within safe levels is very important for firefighters wearing PPE. Several practices for heat stress mitigation include: Active cooling Passive cooling Conductive cooling Convective cooling Evaporative cooling.

Unlike ground fires that can be handled with dry powder extinguishers, hanging wires are hard to reach. Firefighters must use high-pressure water jets, but since water conducts electricity, continuous spraying
