Construction sites are a common place for a fire to break out, so this conceptual fire mask is designed to be a piece of equipment to keep workers safe if they encounter a fire or smoke.
It's often that a fire won't necessarily harm a person but that the smoke created as a result will end up doing the most damage. This mask aims to prevent this by incorporating a compressed pulp that is mixed with a small amount of water in order to create a means of protection against smoke in mere moments.
The conceptual fire mask could be worn as the worker escapes the area or as a piece of equipment to help them breath clearly as they try to extinguish the blaze. The mask is the design work of Inyong Bang.
