Photos Would you as a firefighter wear these?

I'm hoping to become a firefighter. In situations where I'm not wearing a SCBA, but there's still smoke or ash around, I think something like this would be a good idea to wear to help prevent inhaling some of the toxic shit in the air. Has anyone tried this before?

And its just one entry point anyways. If you could overhaul with your mouth closed the whole time that would be impressive. They probably would not stay in place with the amount of movement and sweat that would be happening. Plus SCBA/hood covers your jawline area. As others have said, SCBA is the correct solution.
