A fire shelter is basically a
little tent
made out of
aluminum foil laminated glass cloth
which you're supposed to
scurry under
when you're about to be
overtaken
by the fire front. When you're on a
burn team
(or any situation where you could get overtaken by fire) you should carry a fire shelter strapped onto your person for easy deployment. Professionals generally use a special
harness
which will also hold other
important gear
like
fusees
/igniters (basically,
flares
). Each person should have his/her own shelter, but in a pinch two people can fit in one shelter. These shelters are mostly for
grassland fires
that burn quickly and don't get too hot. They've been known to simply
melt
in
forest fires
where temperatures can get
really hot
(plus
large pieces of burning debris could fall on you
).
