Using Flexible Aerogel Material For Fire-fighters?

A new form of aerogel that is flexible can be made into clothing. Aerogel is a super-insulating material that can withstand temperatures up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. The material can be made transparent or any solid colour.

This means that theoretically an entire sealed body suit could be made from the material allowing a fire-fighter for example to walk into a fully blazing building and save the lives of those trapped in inaccessible areas without being harmed. As I said before, a full body suit made from this material would withstand temperatures of several thousands of degrees. A small compressed air canister inside the suit would enable a fire-fighter to spend several minutes inside the burning building impervious to any flames and with sufficient head and body protection they would also be protected from falling debris. Aerogels have been around since the 1930's but it is only recently that scientists and engineers have been able to make a flexible version suitable for clothing.
