Dear Aythors,

The manuscript entitled An extended model for analyzing the heat transfer in the skin-microenvironment-fabric system during firefighting represents a valuable study to the field. I think the authors have descibed successfully all the aspects of the current study, representing a valuable work.

I do not have anything else to add as comments for the current manuscript. This study is very interesting and i want to congratulate the authors for their work. Well done!!

Reviewer 3 Report

This is an interesting work but it requires some further improvements as listed below:

The abstract is well drafted

Line 141- 142 requires a citation

Line 167 requires a citation after radiative exposure value !

Line 204 required details of value for each value not only the sum

Not clear how does work this method “Thomas method.” Please give some brief background in order to replicate it

Overall the numerical solution is the weakest part of this work as now

It seems your model converge very well with the literature (Fig 4) my question what is different in your work in order to consider this novel !

I strongly advice to use better font size for the graphs axes, as for example Figure 8 are very small and difficult to read other graphs in other figures were noted the same

The conclusion part can be revised to indicate more quantitative details and improvements as now is very qualitative
