We speak candidly about the VIKING SHIELD’s value and protection. Its modular system meets tested values for NFPA1977 for Wildland, NFPA1951 for Technical Rescue AND Extrication with optional bloodborne pathogen protection, and NFPA1999 for EMS. With the increased strain on personnel for call types/volume, and constant budgetary struggles, this flexible, lighter-weight garment is for the majority of non-structure fire calls, reducing heat strain on firefighters & wear and tear on costly turnout gear.
