Anchor Industries Inc.

Shop Anchor Industries fire shelters for wildland firefighters, crews, departments, contractors, and forestry agencies. This collection includes regular and large fire shelters, shelter-only and complete configurations, and a regular practice fire shelter for training.

Choosing a Fire Shelter Size and Package

Regular and large fire shelters have different dimensions and fit requirements. Shelter-only and complete packages also contain different components. Review the exact product contents, current sizing guidance, and your department or agency requirements before ordering.

Training, Inspection, and Readiness

Fire shelters are emergency equipment of last resort and cannot provide protection in every situation. Anyone required to carry one should complete the applicable instruction and hands-on deployment training. Inspect shelters when received and periodically during the field season according to current serviceability guidance.

Practice fire shelters are reusable training aids. They are not deployable emergency shelters and must never be carried to the fireline in place of an operational shelter. Keep practice and operational shelter components clearly separated.

Anchor Industries Fire Shelter Questions

Which fire shelter products are available?

This collection includes regular and large fire shelters, regular and large complete shelter packages, and a regular practice fire shelter, subject to current availability.

What is the difference between a complete package and a shelter-only product?

A complete package includes additional carrying components, while a shelter-only product does not include every component supplied with the complete configuration. Confirm the contents of the exact product listing before ordering.

How do I choose between a regular and large fire shelter?

The sizes have different dimensions and fit characteristics. Follow current NWCG sizing guidance, practice with the appropriate training shelter, and comply with your department or agency procedures.

Can a practice fire shelter be carried for emergency use?

No. A practice shelter is a training aid and must not replace an operational fire shelter on the fireline.

How often should a fire shelter be inspected?

Inspect it when received and periodically throughout the field season. Follow current NWCG inspection and serviceability criteria, removing any shelter from service when it no longer meets those requirements.
