Re: Personal purchase of firefighting gear

Hi, I carry a pair of folding pocket spanner wrenches. There's nothing like needing a spanner wrench and having to walk a long way to get one off a truck or wait while you send someone. I have had mine a lone time and they cost me around $10 bucks at the time. I am sure there $15 to $25 now. Also, I have Firefighting Gloves but I also carry a regular pair of everyday All Purpose Work Gloves. You would be surprised how often they come in handy. And one more thing. Its always good to carry a pair of clear plastic Safety Glasses. Hope this helps.
