When you think about jobs that are risky what do you think about maybe working with flames, crocodiles, heavy machines, or electricity. In oil & gas, welding, and electrical work they are dealing with this hazard on a day-to-day basis. This is why it is critical that they wear the proper personal protective equipment that includes, among other things, fire-resistant suits (or “fire suites”).
At Extremus Safety, we ensure workers are protected with heavy-duty, comfortable, and certified fire suits made for the toughest no-nonsense environments.
What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites (or fire-resistant suits) are specially designed clothes that are worn to protect workers from flames, excessive heat, and sparks. They are not like every day clothes. Fire suites will not catch fire as easily as normal clothes will and in the event they do catch on fire, they will not burn for a long time.
- Most fire suits are made from special materials like:
- Nomex and Kevlar (used in firefighter gear)
- Cotton blends that are treated to resist flames
- Modacrylic fabrics that are both soft and strong
- These materials help protect the skin, reduce burns, and keep workers safer in risky jobs.
Why Fire Suites Matter in High-Risk Industries
1. Oil & Gas Industry
In oil rigs, refineries, or gas plants, there’s always a risk of a fire or explosion, workers handle flammable liquids and gases every day. If a flash fire happens, a regular shirt won’t help — it might make things worse.
- Fire suites made by Extremus Safety are designed to handle this kind of danger. They:
- Resist flames and heat
- Cover the whole body for better protection
- Help reduce injuries from sudden fires
2. Welding Jobs
Welders work with sparks, flames, and molten metal, that’s a serious fire hazard. Without proper gear, even one hot spark can burn through clothes and cause painful injuries.
Our welding fire suits:
- Block flying sparks and splashes of hot metal
- Have strong stitching that doesn’t melt
- Include reinforced sleeves and collars for added protection
3. Electrical Work
Electricians face a different danger — arc flash. That’s when a powerful burst of electricity jumps from a wire or machine. It’s hot enough to cause fires, burns, and even explosions.
Fire suits for electrical work need to do more than just block flames. They also:
- Insulate against extreme heat from arc flash
- Reduce the risk of shock or burn injuries
- Meet safety rules like NFPA 70E and IEC standards
What Makes Extremus Fire Suites So Special?
At Extremus Safety, we design fire suits that are both tough and easy to wear. Here’s why our suits stand out:
✅ Flame-resistant fabric that won’t catch fire easily
✅ Lightweight and breathable so workers don’t overheat
✅ Flexible fit for easy movement while working
✅ Reflective strips for visibility in low light
✅ Strong seams that don’t tear under stress
✅ Chemical splash protection (in some suits)
We know that protection matters, but so does comfort. That’s why we balance both in every design.
How Fire Suits Keep Workers Comfortable and Safe
Working hard in extreme heat and/or danger is challenging enough as it is. If the protective suit is simply too heavy and too uncomfortable to be useful– workers might not be able to wear it properly. That’s why Extremus designs all of our suits for optimal fit and the comfort of a full shift.
Here’s how our suits help:
✦ Reduce the chance of injuries or burns
✦ Help workers feel confident and safe
✦ Boost focus and productivity on the job
✦ Lower the risk of accidents and downtime
