hey what kind of turnout gear do juniors (explorers) get in other stations. im junior chief i have a cairns 1044 (that i bought on my own) helmet our helmets have to have blue tetrahedions-securatex turnout gear-and pro warrington leather boots. what do u have.. whats your opinions
In my department we are rural department and are juniors get a set of brush gear and helmet. The way we look at this a junior can't make entry so there for they don't need turn out gear.
i think jrs should have a complete set of turnout gear .. so they dont get hurt and so they stay warm during winter and so they get used to wearing it for when they get to be a regular volenteer
In my department explorers get black Cairns 660 Metros with Class B Sperian turnout gear like the paid guys wear and ranger shoe fit boots..we can buy leathers and traditional helmets if we want
In my dept. juniors get yellow nomex gear and yellow helmets, they use it for training and Identifacation purposes only. Rookies get tan pbi gear and orange helmets.
