The BLEEX project was successfully demonstrated the first experimental Exoskeleton in which the pilot or the one who wears this will be able to carry a heavy load while feeling only a few-pound load.
It is a breakthrough in ground transport because the exoskeleton has self-powered for strength and endurance enhancement to a person. It is ergonomic, highly maneuverable, mechanically robust, lightweight and durable.
This exoskeleton allows a person to comfortably squat, bend, swing from side to side, twist, walk and run on ascending and descending slopes and step over and under obstructions while carrying equipment an supplies.
While wearing this device, the wearer can carry heavy loads over considerable distances without reducing his/her agility thus, increasing his/her physical effectiveness.
This device is designed that when it lose its power the exoskeleton legs can be removed with the machine like a standard backpack.
Because of this features, it will provide soldiers, disaster relief workers, wildfire fighters, and other emergency personnel the ability to carry major loads like food, rescue equipment, first-aid supplies, communications gear and weaponry with minimal effort in any type of terrain for extended periods of time.
The vision in creating this device is to be able to provide a versatile transport platform for mission-critical equipment.

No, I haven't read the book yet but I can just imagine how this device could help firefighters especially those who will be fighting wild fires. This is really a breakthrough invention that can help a lot of emergency personnels.
I could see how the exoskeleton would help forest fire fighters. They are walking up steep terrain and may be carrying heavy loads. Have you read, "Fire on the Mountain side"? These men are super atheletes of the mountain. The exoskeleton could give the fighters an added advantage of strength and endurance.
