Some doggie treats, flashlight, and a few tools. If you have to ask about the doggie treats, well if you ever entered a house fire with an upset dog, then you're definitely up a creek without a paddle.

right suspender- multitool
left suspender - 2 pair latex gloves
right thigh pocket - right rescue glove
right fire glove (spare)
utility knife
left thigh pocket- left rescue glove
left fire glove (spare)
flip tip screw driver
linemans plier
small cresent wrench
flashlight (non battery powered- shake it and it works for a little then shake some more
sharpie
medium sized locking knife
right jacket pocket - right fire glove
left jacket pocket - left fire glove
20' of 1" webbing
inside coat pocket- spare nomex hood
when it hovers around 0 it is nice to be able to pull out spare gloves and nomex that arnt quite soaked with water for overhaul. Lineman pliers serve as pliers, cutters and small hammer. Flip tip screwdriver has #2 blades for phillips and regular screws, also serves as window punch when used with lineman pliers. Non battery powered flashlight is useful since i dont have to keep fresh batteries in it and is only there if the streamlight fails. No sense carrying the whole tool box with me, we have juniors to run to the truck, but it is enough to get me out of most of the trouble I get myself into.
BTW...I'm left handed so all the important stuff is positioned to be easily accesible with my left hand

As an Engine man;
I carry rope, extra nozzles, portable pump, a high-rise kit and a ladder company just in case they are actually needed...
LOL
Just my self rescue rope, flashlights, folding spanner/multi tool with gas shut-off window punch and pry bar, shove knife, nomex hood. In the winter months I carry some of the hand warming pouches.
When younger I carried everytning in the tool box and the kitchen sink, but experience (and station theft) has lightened the load and I only carry what is needed. Less weight, and clutter.

Is there anything left on the trucks? LOL KIDDING!!
Thats a lot of stuff brother, do you ever have fatigue issues or any issues with the extra weight in your gear? Just curious, no insult meant.
Stay Safe.

Left Jacket pocket has a Hazmat Code card and a Crew Leaders Pocket Check List, Flash Hood goes on before my Bunker Coat, gloves are held by velcro straps on the left breast of the coat, pretty much everything else we use or could use is on the truck except for a pocket knife which I always carry in my trousers pocket, oh, and torch is on my helmet
