Which reflector features does the Brush helmet have?

• A. 2x1 inch red reflective tape on crown
• B. 3x2 inch orange reflective stickers on sides
• C. 4x1 inch lime yellow scotchlite with a black antiglare strip on the front brim
• D. No reflector features

Answer: (C)

Reflective visibility is essential for firefighters, especially in low-light or smoky conditions. The Brush helmet uses a bright lime-yellow Scotchlite retroreflective material on the front brim, about 4 by 1 inch, paired with a black anti-glare strip. Lime yellow is highly conspicuous in daylight and stands out even more when light from a vehicle or flashlight hits it. Scotchlite’s retroreflective properties bounce light back toward the source, so drivers and coworkers notice you sooner as you approach or pass by. Placing this reflector on the front brim positions the reflective area where it’s most likely to be seen by those ahead or at eye level, while the anti-glare strip helps prevent glare from washing out the reflective glow at angles. Other configurations or not having reflector features would reduce visibility and safety in critical situations.
