Climate change is transforming our forests. Droughts are becoming more frequent and prolonged, increasing the risk of wildfires worldwide. Additionally, the strong winds that often accompany these phenomena turn wildfires into more virulent and dangerous threats, endangering the lives of wildland firefighters and the effectiveness of their equipment on the front lines. 

In this context, innovation in technology and materials is essential to ensure the safety and comfort of wildland firefighter equipment. The update to the UNE-EN ISO 15384:2020 standard, replacing the UNE-EN 15614, sets a new benchmark for textile protection for these professionals. At Marina Textil, we are committed to developing fabrics that not only meet these requirements but also prioritize comfort, a key factor in wildland firefighter equipment
