Professional Applications
The Xcaper Filter is essential in a variety of applications and situations.
Wildland Fire Fighting
Xcaper smoke filters were originally developed for use by Wildland Firefighters. Firefighters in wildlands are unable to use the traditional SCBA. However, they are exposed to the same dangerous toxins and particulate matter that occur in structural fires. Xcaper provides protection while being lightweight and easy to use.
Structural Overhaul
During structural overhaul firefighters continue to be exposed to dangerous gases and toxins. Many firefighters choose to not wear their traditional SCBA protection as they consider it too cumbersome in this work environment. The Xcaper smoke filter is easy to use and lightweight, thus allowing firefighters to work unencumbered and complete their job in a shorter amount of time.
Controlled Burns
Like wildland fires, controlled burns result in exposure to carbon monoxide and dangerous particulate matter and gases. The Xcaper smoke filter provides protection while affording the firefighter mobility to restrict to movement of controlled burns.
Arson Investigation
Arson investigators are forced to perform exacting and detailed work in small or confined environments. The very nature of this work requires that the arson investigator look for the causes of fires immediately after they have been extinguished. Unfortunately, toxic gases and fumes are still present and are a danger to these professionals. Xcaper smoke filters provide respiratory protection while the arson investigator performs his work.
Law Enforcement
Law enforcement is often faced with the challenge of performing their job in an environment where fire is present.. This is not just limited to saving civilian lives from fire but also directing traffic in areas where severe smoke is present. Also, some S.W.A.T. teams have used Xcaper smoke filter during bust of Methamphetamine Labs because Xcaper technology protects against the harmful vapors in those environments.
