Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Abstract

The forest firefighting suit consists of the following components and uses: The forest firefighting suit is designed and developed to be suitable for the behavior of the officers and the conditions of the work area, consisting of a shirt and pants. The material used in the sewing of the suit is aramid fabric, which has the property of being able to prevent the spread of fire, to prevent the officers from burning while performing their duties in the event that the forest fire spreads close to them, which is different from the current suits that cannot prevent fires. The shirt is designed with a mesh on the side of the body to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The sleeves at the elbows have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The collar has a slot for a portable fan and a fan air circulation channel on the back, which can be turned on while performing forest firefighting duties, helping to prevent the body temperature from getting too hot, reducing the risk of heatstroke. When the fan battery runs out, it can be removed for charging and put back in when needed. The pants are designed with mesh on the inside or in blind spots to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The pants at the knees have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The forest firefighting suit, consisting of a shirt and pants, has been designed and developed to be able to be produced domestically, reducing imports from abroad

Objective

ปัญหาไฟป่าที่ทวีความรุนแรงขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ส่งผลกระทบในหลายๆด้านโดยเฉพาะผู้ที่พักอาศัยบริเวณใกล้ไฟป่าต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาด้านสุขภาพที่เกิดจากฝุ่น PM2.5 ประกอบกับทางภาครัฐยังขาดแคลนบุคลากรเจ้าหน้าที่ ที่มีความชำนาญในการดับไฟป่า รวมถึงยังขาดชุดดับไฟป่าที่เป็นชุดสามารถกันไฟได้เหมาะสมต่อการดับไฟ เนื่องจากในปัจจุบันชุดที่เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สวมใส่ในการปฏิบัติหน้าที่นั้นเป็นชุดลายพลาง กางเกงกับเสื้อแบบทั่วไป ไม่สามารถปกป้อง หรือกันไฟเมื่อไฟมาถึงระยะประชิดตัวได้ในระดับที่เหมาะสม ซึ่งสาเหตุนี้ส่งผลให้เจ้าหน้าที่บางรายได้รับอันตรายถึงขั้นไฟคลอกได้ ผู้วิจัยจึงได้เล็งเห็นถึงความสำคัญในการออกแบบและพัฒนาชุดดับไฟป่า เพื่อให้เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สามารถสวมใส่ปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างปลอดภัย ช่วยลดอุปสรรคในการดับไฟป่าและปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างเต็มประสิทธิภาพมากยิ่งขึ้น

13th Celebration of Silk Thai Silk Road to the World 2024

Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang has a vision for sustainable excellence. The mission is to develop learners to be ready for the digital world, develop educational innovations using research as a base, strategic management with good governance, and academic services that benefit society. In this activity, the group of students joined with the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Kingdom of Thailand, the working group of the Thai Silk and Culture Promotion Association, and the working group of the National Research Office (NRCT) to integrate knowledge to design a silk outfit that combines Thai and Russian cultures, create a network of cooperation in arts, culture, technology, innovation, and dissemination of knowledge and the beauty of Thai silk. The objective is to develop the potential of teachers and students in creative design, listen to the work guidelines from the working group of the Thai Silk and Culture Promotion Association, the working group of the National Research Office (NRCT) via an online meeting. The team of teachers and students from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang under the name of the "Love Silk" group designed a Thai silk outfit that combines cultures with the identity of Thai silk and studying traditions and cultures of the Russian Federation's clothing. They studied related literature and research documents and integrated knowledge into the design process, inspired by the concept of the Rajapataen outfit. Since the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in 1872, together with the clothing culture of the Russian Federation, emphasizing Thai silk, this concept has gone through the process of creating and selecting the design concept (Concept Generation and Selection). The concept received from the embassy was first submitted for feedback on July 25, 2024. There was a suggestion to add more uniqueness to Thai silk through a fashion show presentation by the wife and grandson of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the designed outfits are 1 set of women's clothes and 1 set of boys' clothes. The women's set has an inner shirt adapted from the royal outfit using silk fabric, Kon Ka-ed pattern, with two separate pieces: 1 shirt and 1 skirt. The jacket is a modified long suit style, plain silk, dark pink and red. The boys' set has a long-sleeved shirt adapted from the contemporary royal style, tailored with cream silk, long slacks tailored with raw betel silk, and a collarless coat with blue silk and lotus pattern. Adapted from the Rajapattan suit with a long collar in an international style. On August 2, 2024, the designed suit and the prototype of the raw fabric suit were brought to the ambassador's wife and nephew to try on. On August 30, 2024, the ambassador was met for the 4th time to bring the silk suit that was cut into a real silk suit. The shirt was given to the ambassador's wife and nephew to try on. It was worn to join the fashion show in the 13th "Thai Silk to the World" Silk Festival at the Naval Auditorium, where lecturers and students from the Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, joined the fashion show in the finale round, which proceeded smoothly. After the event, the working group of the Thai Silk and Culture Promotion Association brought the clothes designed and tailored by the "Rak Prae Mai" team to exhibit Thai Silk to the World Exhibition from September 1-8, 2024 at the Emsphere Shopping Mall. The team summarized the report and compiled a complete report. In the implementation of this project, the Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang has received support and facilitation throughout the project. The budget support from the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), the support of fabrics for sewing from the Thai Silk and Culture Promotion Association, and the information for designing valuable silk dresses from the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Kingdom of Thailand are very important factors that made this operation a success. It is a very important experience for the team of teachers and students of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. We sincerely hope to receive good cooperation in the future.
