PART 3 - RECOGNIZING THE ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS OF YOUR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

This is the 3rd video in a series that addresses the dangers of collapse and entanglements. It is important for a firefighter to be aware of all the components of their personal protective equipment that present a potential entanglement hazard. This can help in both avoiding an entanglement as well as freeing yourself if one occurs.

About your concern with the traditional eagle, check out firefrontstore.com there you will find newer style front holders that helps to eliminate entanglement risks. By employing aircraft grade aluminum that will not deform and promote entanglement risks,it also has a tighter and supportive fit to the leather shield,thus reducing the possibility of entanglement.
