Keeping Our Fire Brigade Safe: Las Catalinas Gets Nomex Suits

In a significant step towards enhancing the safety and efficiency of our wildland fire brigade, Las Catalinas has recently acquired high-tech Nomex suits. These suits are designed to provide superior protection and visibility for our brave firefighters, especially as we prepare for the upcoming dry season of 2024-2025, spanning from December to May.

The Nomex fabric is known for its advanced features, including a reactive thermal stimulus that enhances protection against high temperatures. Each suit is treated with a flame retardant, ensuring an added layer of safety in the event of a fire. Furthermore, the high visibility of these suits will help our brigade members remain easily noticeable in challenging environments, reducing the risk of accidents.

This investment underscores our 15+ year commitment to the passive restoration of the tropical dry forest ecosystem at Las Catalinas. By equipping our fire brigade with these cutting-edge suits, we are safeguarding our people and reinforcing our dedication to preserving and protecting our unique natural surroundings.

As we prepare for the dry season, the strength and readiness of our fire brigade will be crucial in maintaining the safety and health of our ecosystem. The introduction of these Nomex suits is a testament to our ongoing efforts to enhance environmental conservation and ensure the wellbeing of our community.
