Firefighting tool set

A set of firefighting tools for use in fighting forest fires and the like in different types of terrain and vegetation. A brightly colored elongate handle of fiber-reinforced synthetic material is equipped with a releasably latching connector, and several different tool heads are attachable to the handle to perform various functions. One head has a pivotably attached shovel blade and is useful as a shovel, as a scraper or as a rake. Also associated with this head is a selectively foldable mixing spoon which may be extended opposite the shovel blade. Another tool head has oppositely directed axe and grub hoe blades and is useful as an axe, a brush hook, or a grub hoe. Yet a further tool head has several flexible straps for beating out fires. An extension member of metal pipe is provided to make the handle useful as a staff when traveling on steep and rough terrain. A backpack includes separate pockets for carrying each of the tool heads individually, as well as other pockets for carrying other items needed by a firefighter walking to the locality of a forest fire or the like.
