Going with what ALS said... If you have ESS Extrication goggles...DO NOT wear them into a fire...big mistake!

Happened to someone i knew, ruined his helmet!

A little off topic, but I once saw a guy with a sticker on his helmet that said "department a-hole." Who in their right mind would wear it unless it was a punishment by higher-ups?!

My helmet has an Interior sticker, 2 american flags and a "585" on it.

585..lol.............. I still can't stop laughing.....

Like we haven't talked about that at length over and over and over again....hehe. I certainly know quite a few that should wear it. Heck, I'm sure there are a few that know me or on here that think I should wear it. lol.

Back on a serious note. Don't forget the more crap you carry, the more restrictive it can become when you need to get somewhere or out of something in a hurry.

Many people should start and continue to practice using the fire gloves at drills. No the extrication gloves, the more you use them the better.
