Given how popular the Iron Man movies have become over the past few years, the AFA exoskeleton is perfect. This exoskeleton gives the firefighter every tool to not only combat fires, but to do so in style. The exoskeleton works by providing supplemental muscle to the firefighter to help them in dire situations.
Being a firefighter seems like a glamorous occupation. Saving people for a living is extremely admirable, but people don't quite understand how it all goes down. The job is extremely physically demanding and no matter how strong they look, they still need help sometimes.
The AFA exoskeleton gives the firefighter the strength to move debris, pull hoses and even carry victims to safety in no time with the strength it provides.
