Is It Really Necessary To Put Golf Balls In Your Bunker Gear? LOL

Well i was at the station today when a new guy who just joined the department came up to me and one of my buddies showing us these golf balls he was saying that if he gets lost in a fire like in a church or a big warehouse he could toss the golf balls to see which wall was closer now i know it might sound like a good idea but i just never herd of this before now the new guy might be teaching me new tricks but just seems odd to carry around 12 golf balls in your turnout gear lol please tell me what you think

I think he needs a 7 iron for less loft and more reach.

I question, he who has the most balls, are they the bestest firefighter?

Cuz I know some 6-22 probies who would need a wheel barrow to walk around the station...

No joke, I have been around a while and went mutual aid to find a company throwing rocks from the exterior to complete ventilation.... wow never thought about it but the golf balls could be multi-purpose.

No one will be able to say he doesn't have any balls, I'm sorry I just couldn't resist it.

If in a church you will have the bouncing off the pews in a warehouse you would have either the bounce off of stacks or the echo of empty warehouse as sound is multiplied in void spaces.
