Wildland Fire Personal First Aid Kit

The Wildland Fire Personal First Aid Kit is a specialty IFAK designed specifically for the Wildland Firefighter, in response to the needs for improved and standardized medical supplies on the fireline. Rescue Essentials - in cooperation with Colorado and Wyoming Wildland Firefighters - has developed a kit with the components required to address both severe and minor injuries sustained in a Wildland Firefighting environment. Inadequate medical supplies, inconsistent medical kits and supplies, difficulty finding supplies in the kit. All these issues are addressed and resolved in the Wildland Fire Kit.

The Wildland kit unzips and opens like a book. No digging through a pouch full of supplies for what you need, no dumping the contents on the ground in panic mode and losing things in the wind.  Everything is in front of you and broken out into specific, clearly labeled modules: SEVERE BLEEDING, BURN TREATMENT, MINOR WOUNDS, MEDICATIONS. Quickly retrieve the components you need and leave everything else in place.

Advantages of Medical Kit Standardization

When all Firefighters on the crew are carrying a standardized First Aid Kit you have the advantage of the cumulative supplies you need to immediately address larger injuries. For example, if a crew member sustained a burn covering more the a 4" x 4" area, the site can be addressed by utilizing the burn dressing from other Wildland Kits. Now you have a 4" x 8", or a  4" x 12" burn dressing. Need two rolls of conforming gauze to hold the dressings in place? You have them. Standardizing First Aid Kits for a crew provides the resources you need to handle these injuries quickly before they worsen and require evacuation from the line.
