N6A NFPA Bourkes

N6A.NFPA Bourkes

The N6A.NFPA Bourkes refers to a specific type of eye protection attachment used with fire helmets, specifically the N6A model helmet that meets the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards. Bourkes are a type of side shield or visor that can be attached to the brim of the helmet to provide protection for the firefighter’s eyes.

Bourkes are typically made of a durable material such as thermoplastic and are designed to deflect heat, debris, and other hazards away from the eyes while allowing for good visibility. They are often used in conjunction with other protective gear, such as goggles or face shields, to provide comprehensive eye protection in firefighting operations.

They are designed to combine the traditional look of Bourkes eyeshields that were invented in the 1960s with modern materials and increased coverage area1. They are available for MSA Cairns 1010, 1044, and 880 Tradition fire helmets, and can be ordered from various online stores
