New Department Policy
Effective immediately, you are permitted to carry ONE item in your bunker pants pockets. That is NOT one item in each pocket; that is one item PERIOD. This policy has become necessary because many of you can barely move, due to the weight of what is being carried in pockets. If you are caught violating this policy, I will confiscate everything and open a hardware store. Chief.
So; the question is: what would be your ONE thing? One. That's it.

Steve:
The gloves are PPE.
You still get one tool or something used as a "tool".

Jack;
You had me diggin' on it right up to the...
Shower cap.
Hair should be high and tight.
No need for shower cap.
Flip flops OK as long as they have safety toes and non-slip soles.

Hmmmm... one item in my pocket??? okay... lets find a way to get around this one then. First... what do I have in my pockets now? safety glasses, extrication gloves, seatbelt cutter, small knife, and flash hood. Okay well... I'm getting rid of the safety glasses completly, I will just use the goggles on my helmet, I will put the extrication gloves on a strap on the outside of my coat (like my fire gloves), I suppose the seatbelt cutter will fit nicely in the band on my helmet, that leaves us with the knife and the flash hood. Well some of you are probably saying "why do you keep your flash hood in your pocket?" Well, because we are required to take all of our gear on every call (in case a 2nd call comes in while on scene) and since I really dont feel like wearing a flash hood while I am just helping an old lady back on to the couch, I keep it in my pocket. On the other hand, I really don't want to give up the knife either. Well... after a few minutes of debate I have decided that I simply will not carry a flashhood nor will I wear one into a fire anymore. When my head, ears, and neck get burned; I will bitch and scream and blame it on ChiefReason lol. At least I still have my knife
(Please for the love of god, no one take that answer seriously!!! I am keeping everything in my pockets the way they are and yes before someone tells me how unsafe it would be to not wear my flash hood, I'm going to keep it as well and yes, You can bet I will be wearing it in the next fire.)
