Gone to Far with keeping an eye on Probies?????
I recently changed policies on turnout gear provided to probies. While on probation and in training my probies will have yellow turnout gear instead of the brown turnouts that my trained firefighters use. I am not trying to humiliate the probies, just trying to make them easier to locate on scene by I/C and other personel. I think it might help keep them out of harms way and not be asked to do something over their heads. What do you think???? Would you be offended????

I see nothing wrong with it.
We have different color helmets to identify different firefighter functions.
As long as you don't have a big target on their backs, no one should complain.
Keeping track of EVERYONE at a scene is important.
Sometimes, vets can get into a predicament as well.

You should have some way of identifying probies on the fireground. i just think there might be a less expensive way. Turnouts are more or less custom fit. Helmets on the other hand.

in my county all probies wear a yellow helmet while firefighters wear black helmets. This is county wide so it goes for all depts. and we know who can do what.
