Traffic Vest
As you are aware the goverment is making it a law that we must wear a traffic vest when on a highway. This is and has been a part of our sop but it still makes me think. Is it just me or does it not make use more likely to get injured not if but when a car that is on the scene of a mva burst it to flames and we go running up to put the fire out and our little orange vest burst into flames. I have checkeed and hve not found a sourse for one that will with stand the same temp as my turn outs.

what i was told is in michigan we have to go to a class 2 vest and have pink traffic signs .. i guess to make us better targets for the rubber neckers more reflective the better for them to line you up with the hood but we can hope this is not the case but time will tell i guess
