A dielectric, fire-resistant shelter apparatus is disclosed which affords temporary protection to individuals exposed to the open environment. The shelter apparatus includes a protective canopy which is movable between an open position for providing temporary cover and protection to individuals exposed to the environment and a closed, collapsed position for storage. The canopy is substantially dielectric and resistant to fire. A plurality of ribs interconnect with each other to support the canopy in its open position. Moreover, a plurality of struts are secured for supporting the ribs and canopy in the open position and for enabling the ribs and canopy to move to the closed collapsed position. Finally, at least one support element is provided for maintaining the relative positions of the struts, ribs and canopy when in the open position above a ground surface, the support element also being dielectric.
