Helping Firefighters choose the right garments
FR STATIONWEAR 
NON-FR STATIONWEAR
WHY FR ?
Choosing the right FR base layer—or FR station wear—is a critical part of firefighter safety. While turnout gear provides the first line of defense against flames and radiant heat, non-FR clothing worn underneath can ignite, melt, and cause severe burns—even through protective outer layers.
Flame-resistant (FR) base layers are engineered to prevent ignition and will not melt or drip when exposed to heat. Although NFPA 1975 does not specifically cover base layers, its principles reinforce the importance of wearing only non-melting, flame-resistant clothing beneath turnout gear.
WHY NON-FR ?
Non-FR garments should only be worn by personnel whose duties carry absolutely no risk of exposure to high heat or open flame.
Even if it looks the same, non-FR apparel doesn’t provide the critical protection your team needs. Don’t risk it—always choose FR Stationwear and FR base layers to ensure everyone is prepared for the unpredictable.
A Higher Standard: The Science Behind Our Base Layers
While NFPA 1975 establishes requirements for FR stationwear, it’s important to know that the standard does not cover undergarments like base layers. To ensure your complete safety system is up to the task, we offer a collection of base layers that go beyond the NFPA 1975 scope. These garments are tested to meet strict ASTM values for thermal stability and flame resistance, preventing them from melting or adhering to the skin under high-heat conditions.
