From: Training With A K12 Saw: What Is Wrong With This Picutre?

[JFLYNN 681]

I'm putting my 2 cents in.

I don't care who you are, how experienced you are, or what rank you hold. If you're going to have training PPE is a MUST. Our service is dangerous in training as it is in real life. Always wear your PPE. I don't care if you think you're invicible against a shower of sparks without your PPE. I know I'm personally not going to start a saw (although I have not....yet) unless everyone around in the vicinity is properly protected with bunker gear.

I believe ALSFirefighter once had in his signature "Train like you fight; Fight like you train." That should speak for itself.
