FIRE SERVICE
The first manufacturer of flame resistant (FR) fabrics to supply a fire
department with aramid fabrics: TenCate Protective Fabrics. That
was in 1970 and the garments went to the Cleveland, Ohio, Fire
Department. Since then, TenCate Protective Fabrics has been the
leader in FR fabrics for the Fire Service industry.
TenCate Protective Fabrics manufactures innovative fabrics for the
fire service including structural firefighting, technical rescue, station
wear and wildland firefighting. TenCate began supplying FR fabrics
for the U.S. Forest Service in 1982 and set the industry standard
with outstanding performance and quality.
Respected and recognized worldwide for aggressive Research and
Development, superior quality and cutting-edge manufacturing
processes, TenCate sets the pace as the world's leading supplier of
inherently flame-resistant fabrics for fire services.
