# Water Capsule Fire Masks This Conceptual Fire Mask is Designed for Construction Workers By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-mask References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/07/the-tough-mans-fire-mask/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firedrone-by-empa). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-smokeless-fire-pit). The mask is the design work of Inyong Bang. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fire-safe Technology:** Developing technology that can prevent or treat fire hazards or related damages. - **Personal Protective Equipment Innovation:** Designing new and innovative personal protective equipment that can save lives in hazardous environments. - **Eco-friendly Fire Safety Solutions:** Creating environmentally-friendly and sustainable solutions for preventing and responding to fire hazards. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** Opportunities exist for construction companies to invest in and implement advanced fire safety protocols and equipment to protect their workers. - **Safety Equipment Manufacturing:** There is a growing demand for innovative personal protective equipment, like the water capsule fire mask, that can help improve worker safety in hazardous environments. - **Environmental Technology:** Developing eco-friendly fire safety solutions that can help mitigate the environmental impact of fires can help meet the growing demand for sustainable technologies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air-Blowing Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mask.md) - [Aerodynamic Filtration Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goa-face-protector.md) - [Shield-Style Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hussechuck-and-shield.md) - [Easy-to-Use Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-fire-extinguisher-redesign.md) - [Air-Controlling VR Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airres-mask.md) - [Connected Emotive Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w3e-mask-expressive-emotion.md) - [Wearable Oxygen Support Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-o2-patch.md) - [Future-Focused Air-Filtering Suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-in-sight.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md)
