Given the growing demands placed on firefighters during rescue operations, there is a growing need to explore modern technologies that could support their work. One promising solution in this field is the use of exoskeletons, biomechanical devices that reduce the physical load on the wearer. The aim of this research was to outline the current state of knowledge on reducing the physical load of firefighters through the use of exoskeletons and to identify prospective directions for the continuation of this research. This paper sought to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on the worldwide use of exoskeletons in the fire service, emphasising their potential impact on reducing the physical burden faced by firefighters. The focus was on design issues, principles of operation and conclusions regarding their practical application. Particular attention was paid to analyses of potential health benefits, such as reduced musculoskeletal load and improved ergonomics. The study outlined a picture of the current state of knowledge on exoskeletons, as well as indicated directions for further research and development of technologies to assist firefighters during rescue operations.
