Looks like what we had in the 369th Engineer Platoon (Fire Fighters) an old retrofitted 530B with skid plates.

If a department goes to the extent to build a brush rig such as this ( I know many do) then they obviously take wildland fires seriously. So why not supply the members with wildland gear instead of full structural gear?

[@ffjsb]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@JS-zb1vv]

Because they don’t take it seriously lol . They acquire equipment. And wing it !

[@joshastana849]

Not necessary

[@ffjsb]

@@joshastana849 Son, you've clearly never fought a grass or wildland fire in structural gear on a 90+ degree day. I doubt you've fought any kind of a fire anyway.

that Hot heavy cancer causing turn out gear was horrible what they put you through...

@@fredbiden868 the turn out gear does not cause cancer.

@@ritirons2726Are you sure? PFAS

[@ritirons2726]

@@RetLtFF43 the PFAS in turn out gear is LINKED to cancer, that does not mean it causes cancer. When enough evidence has been gained about exposure to a particular substance causing cancer it is labeled as a carcinogen. PFAS is not considered a carcinogen, it is considered a potential or possible carcinogen. The studies concerning gear have shown that we are at the highest risk of exposure when gear is old, worn, not properly cared for and unclean. Everyone loves their gear to look “salty” right? So what’s the answer? Sure we can limit the use of gear on insignificant calls but what’s insignificant? We all now how quickly something changes from minor and insignificant to a major problem with possible deadly consequences. Don’t get me wrong cancer is nothing to take lightly but this trend that everything we use in the fire service CAUSES cancer has to stop.
