For whatever reason some of PG county's turnout gear doesn't have wristlets so they issue those old gauntlet style gloves

interesante, pero cómo se carga en la unidad

1:53 - Start masking up? The protective gear should be ON before going close to the fire. It should be ON when arriving, to save time.

Most departments don't mask up in the truck so they can see what they're doing and have their full situational awareness as long as they can.

@@mrobsolete530x4That is not a good idea and shows that either the equipment is badly designed or they are badly trained, or both. Here is one example. Stop, out, get hose, put on water. Fully dressed from start. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gF6vmJiur7pjjNk

Most departments don’t do this. They teach us to mask up at the door.
