I have a question. I heard that according to the new NFPA standard on gear says that eye protection no longer has to be on helmets.

Is this true? Can anyone shed some light on this subjest?

To me it makes sence to keep your safety glasses or goggles in your pockets. If they are on your helmet they can get melted, smoked up, scratched during fire ground operations. I guess that is good for the guys that make goggles but bad for us if we have to replace them every couple of months.
