New Yorkers – you may see FDNY members wearing a new mask while responding to help at emergencies across the city. The 3M 6000 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Elastomeric Respirator will provide the same level of protection as the N95, while moving the FDNY out of the supply chain for N95 masks. These masks will provide the user with an effective face seal and hold repeated use. Each FDNY member will be assigned their own mask, which they can clean and maintain. These masks provide the same level of protection for members and the public that they serve.
