What are fire and smoke masks?

Fire and smoke masks are air-purifying respiratory protective smoke escape devices (RPEDs), including air-purifying respirators used to protect a person while escaping from a fire by removing certain contaminants of fire-generated products of combustion from the inhaled air. Such products may use a filter, cartridge, canister, sorbent or catalyst (or a combination of these items) to remove such contaminants.
