Our new gear is better and lighter than ever, made 100% of military grade polyester! Even in the toughest situations it will stick with you!*
*See fine print for terms and conditions.
My instructors always tell stories about folks who wore synthetic clothes under their gear, then it melted to their skin when they are inside a building. Big yikes
That's like asking for video game advice "get good bro"
Ugh I'm dreading the day we discover turnout gear gives the wearer cancer or some shit. It's coated in all kinds of crazy crap.
The asbestos is in the middle somewhere so... Probably not?
After it's used it most certainly does.
Firefighters nowadays change their gear after certain operations before they get back on their truck. Or at least they do here.
Oh yeah, the carcinogens from a fire definitely are cancerous, and we're always taught to put our dirty gear in trash compactor bags and wash it in a special machine back at the station.
I meant all the coatings on the outer shell or inside the lining by our necks and wrists. That would get into the body through the thin skin there even when just walking around
I just wanted to share my knowledge from TV to be honest.
But at this point I expect pretty much everything we wear or use to be dangerous for us…
I got inspired by another comment, and looked up what turnout gear is made of, and it’s really interesting.
This piece of equipment is woefully out of spec!
