| 0739 | Fire helmet from Chile. The manufacturer of the phenolic resin helmet is the company MSA. The helmet type was called "phenolic". It corresponds in construction to the helmet model "Skullgard" which it gives since 1940. Due to a great demand, MSA wanted with the helmet model Phenolic offer a helmet, which was able to withstand higher ambient temperatures. These were neither the model Skullgard (helmet 0243, USA), nor the helmet Topgard built from 1936 (see helmet 0714, USA). MSA built the helmet shell from seven layers of phenolic-reinforced plastic, achieving a heat resistance of up to 230 ° C (450 ° F) without deforming the helmet. With this, he could even stand splashes of molten metal. The helmet type Phenolic exist since 1950. This helmet is clearly more recent than helmet number 0670, Canada. It should have been built in the 1970s. The helmet was used by the fire brigade of the city of Cauquenes. Cauquenes is a city in the middle of the South American Andes. The fire department of the city has 5 companies. On the leather front shield of this helmet the number 3 can be seen. 3 stands for the company "Tercera Compania Cauquenes". It was founded on 30.11.1942. | ||||
