Smoke inhalation is the No. 1 cause of death from fire. The Fire Relief Respirator provides oxygen to people who are trapped in a fire. It enables them to breathe for a longer time before they are rescued, increasing their chance of survival. It can be used in residences, hotels, offices, and high-rise buildings.
