FAQ

The personal LIFESAVER fire and smoke hood are intended to provide a short-term respiratory filter in the event of any fire risk event even including a terrorist attack. The 15/20 minutes or more of breathable air that the LIFESAVER provides is the difference between life and death in most desperate situations.
When an aircraft or high-rise building, and fire, or some other such catastrophe becomes a very real and present danger, people are going to panic. Do not be fooled into believing that it is the flame that you have to fear, it is in fact the smoke and smoke inhalation that presents the clearest, immediate and imminent danger.

As an example, if we look at a typical residential fire, whilst the fire is the principal culprit, odds are it is initially the excessive smoke and subsequent inhalation that is the most likely factor for incapacitating the victims of the fire. Depending on the density and heat of the smoke, it may take 2 to 10 minutes to lose consciousness or become a victim. Fire burns oxygen, so as a fire continues to be active, more oxygen gets removed from the room.

In these cases, products like the personal LIFESAVER smoke hood can almost certainly prevent many fatalities by giving those trapped the time needed to escape or be rescued.
