Firefighting gloves are certified under their own standards — EN 659 in Europe and NFPA 1971 as part of the American structural ensemble — and they are not a heavier version of an industrial glove. The property that decides whether they get used is dexterity while wet: a glove that cannot work a coupling or a casualty's harness after it has absorbed water will be pulled off at the worst moment. Sizing is the other trap, because the two standards use different size schemes, so a size that fits under one may not under the other.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
