My helmet color discussion is better than your helmet color discussion, and we need another extrication PPE thread, too

We don't have enough competing "What does helmet color mean in your department" threads running, so I thought I'd start another one. Of course, mine is better, because it was started by, well, me. While we're on the topic, let's get off the topic and discuss whether we should wear turnout gear, wildland firefighting gear, extrication gear, or just go naked and wear Dutch wooden shoes while performing extrication. Of course, if that were a seperate thread, it would be better than all of the other "What to wear to your friendly local extrication" threads, too, because, well, I'm just in too much of a hurry to post my thread so I can't be bothered with a basic site search to see if 785 other people have previously started still-open discussions on the same topics.

So, if you have a transparent helmet, does that mean that you can't go inside burning structures unless you wear wildland gear or go naked to extrications, or what?

(Tongue planted firmly in cheek and no offense to residents of the Netherlands intended, as this thread is parody and thus legally protected by the rules of comedy.)

can we run with a blue light being held by a junior who didn't make THE truck but was able to have mom drive him in her POV on top of her vw bug
All discussions on helmet color, fire truck color and lights will be banned for the rest of 2009. We'll have a moratorium on these discussions for everyone's sanity. Will that work? LOL.
Are you asking if the light can be on top of mom's bug, or does the Jr member have to be on top of the bug holding it?

That's not the issue. There is already a discussion about it, which we clearly linked to. we're dealing with the issue and there will be a response from the publication later today. We're all firefighters...and last I checked we are not racist either so there will be a response. Just was trying to steer everyone to where the debate was happening....
As long as it's not elm. Dutch elm disease on the shoes would be a terrible thing to see.
lol.. But before you do......here's the helmet for him.

Does it come as a black helmet with a blue light? Or a yellow helmet with red and white lights? Or black with red and white, or yellow with blue? Or black with yellow reflectors and all three colored lights? Is it only for chiefs? I thought Chiefs wore white? Is if for probies or captains? What color should it be? I'm so confused.
Hey Ben, you mentioned transparent helmets.......

saw this at a trade show...

When I first joined FFN I noticed that there are multiple similar groups, and wondered why these groups could not be merged? I guess the same goes for these threads. When a new helmet color thread gets posted, should it not be simply merged with the old one? I agree posting a new thread is simply lazy, but this is not a problem unique to FFN.
ouuucchhhh. my head....lmao.....
