Hi Huge,
just seen your post on on what fire helmet is the most popular. The MSA F1SF or the Gallent F1 as it is also kown has very good eye protection and a full face shield, both fold into the skull of the helmet.Hearing can be a problem as your ears are inlcosed also it lacks shoulder protection because of the snug fit to the side of the head. I can't say if they are made in the U.S. As for wearing them with SCBA we remove our lid and put triditional mask straps on followed by our flash hood and then helmet. the clips are around but i have not seen them or used them here in Ireland. One other disadvantage older firefighters have told me is that they don't allow the feeling of heat on your ears, but i have never been trained on that technique so am not in a place to comment.

Hi Hugh, thanks for the new friendship. So glad you are feeling better. I also was hurt on Nov.13th, still on light duty and I hate it..I want back out there!!!!!!! Take care, Cat
Hey Hugh!
Its been awful weather here still in a state of emergency part of Hopkins County has power, but most doesn't. Some stores are letting a few people in at a time with with flashlights, generators and kerosene heaters are GOLD! There has been more power poles across the roads than there are up. We have been at the station for several days sleeping on tailboards and hose beds and refueling the generators. We fought a 2 story house fire almost 9 hours the other night in the snow, ice and freezing rain. We were able to save the bottom floor and deck and the family is going to rebuild. Its been non stop with emergencies. Hopkins County schools are closed INDEFINATELY! It looks like a ghostown. Can't wait till things are back to normal. Thanks for the comment about dad we miss him and are proud to give back to the community what we can! Things are starting to get a little out of control we have brought in National Guard due to some break ins and for security. Sounds like you have a great daughter. Take Care and Be Safe.
Thanks for the info brother, and to get the poll, go to the top of your home page and go to "my stuff" scroll down on that to where it says "applications" you should be able to find it there, it's a site add on.
