Looking for opinions here...

Do you feel your apparatus drivers should or should not be wearing their gear when driving? I've driven apparatus in shorts and sneakers, bunker pants, and even in my socks (a long time ago, relax).

And, once on the scene, do you feel your ECC or TCC needs to be in PPE to operate the pump or to operate the aerial?

I'm not looking for any fighting, but opinions. It has been discussed dozens of times around our firehouse, and I want to see what others think.

Personally, I don't think you drivers should wear anything that hinders their safe operating of the apparatus. With modern apparatus having the engine between the driver and officer, it becomes a little tighter in the driver's seat. For a larger gentleman, such as myself, I find wearing my bunker pants with the bailout rope in the pocket to be a bit of a pain in the neck.

What's your thoughts?
