I work in a busy fire department in a busy city. I've always been one of those "less is more" type of firefighters. Webbing of 2 lengths. 1 long 1 short Knife Pliers (Klein linemen pliers) Some door chalks on my helmet and some in my pants and jacket. That's it. Everything else is just adding to the bulk and weight. Edit: on my axe belt I have an extra ring for my crescent wrench. That I carry clipped on a carabiner.

I always had webbing, two lengths: long for rescue and short for hose. One pair of fencing pliers with hammer and pry hook. Punch, pliers, hammer, hook, wire cutters, wrench...all-in-one. Painters putty knife is nice but "Locked door? We don't need no stinking keys...Halligan Up!" LOL

I only permanently cary what I absolutely need on a fire call. Wire cutters for entanglement, long/short webbing for rescue and utility respectively, some 8d nails in my helmet strap for door control and an aluminum wedge. All the other stuff I keep in my personal tool bag in the rig that is organized by type of call. Water/electric/gas condition, motor vehicle accident, EMS etc. while En route to the call I put the appropriate specialized kit in my pocket based on what the call is and then put it back in the tool bag after the call.

As ive gotten older on the job, less and less and less. A pair of channel locks, screw driver, 25' of utility rope and a small carabinar. Stream light, 1620 key, knife, chock, 5 10 penny nails, (webbing 20' in a plastic glove, which disappeared). Thats it. oh and i do have a small shove knive. Gloves i keep on a strap on my coat. Only use fire gloves. No buff gloves (thinner leather gloves) anymore. Besides always losing them. I always end up taking them off dealing with elevators etc so i stopped wearing them. At car accidents i wear fire gloves. Don't do any ems so rubber gloves not too important. If i need that stuff ill just walk 10 feet to the truck to get them but Im driving 95% of the time anyway.

Check theFireStore . com they're expensive but you know what you're getting and also check out ebay for used turnout gear -- I do not recommend relying on used gear in a dangerous environment. Check to see if your gear will be NFPA certified. Gear is generally good for 10 years. (National Fire Protection Association)
@radciff2281 3 жыл бұрын
Remember: Wildland fire gear is not near as protective as structural and if you use Wildland fire gear for an enclosed high heat environment, you will be injured or worse. Regardless only recommend buying the gear for display. You can volunteer and be provided with gear. In the US, most departments require age of 14 or 16.

Really? Very standard from what I've seen. Only unusual thing is the large light on the strap, which isn't a bad idea, just another strap, to get tangled, and a bulky thing in the way.
