Bunker Gear

[WFD220]

I was just wondering what kind of equipment everyone carried in their bunker gear. Besides a flash light and wire cutters what else? I am a rookie and looking for some help on what I should carry with me.

Thanks

Depends on your response area...I carry 20 foot webbing, door chocks, flashlight, leatherman, extra gloves, and a folding spanner wrench.

Also, try doing a search. You may find more info there if response to your question is low.

I agree with it depends on your running area and type of calls. I carry 30' rope, 15' of webbing tied with a water-knot into a large loop, small vise-grips, lineman pliers, a multitool with a small set of sockets(came with the multitool), utility knife, wooden wedges x2. This is all in my pants pockets. I carry EMS gloves, a smith and wesson H.R.T. knife, and disposable camera in my coat. On the outside of my coat is a flashlight, and my firefighting gloves. On my helmet I have a wooden door wedge and a metal door wedge(one that fits over hinges for commercial doors).

Flash light and extra pair of gloves. Hood is on my head where it suppose to be.

Nothing else. Anything else is carried in my hand.


Why load your self down??

I carry 30' of webbing with a carabiner, folding spanner wrench, linemans tool, 2 wedge-it's.

Things to remember try to keep yourself "light" the more bulk and things in the pockets can be a hinderence when you need to get in tight places.

I have been doing this for 17 years and this seems to work for me. But your area of operations may be different.

Now I'm only a junior but I carry almost the same as our firefighters, the standard things our firefighters have, some have more than this,

20' Webbing(jacket pocket)
1 Flashlight(clipped onto gear)
1 Extra Set of Gloves(inside pocket)
1 Nomex Hood(inside pocket)
1 Folding Spanner Wrench in Bunker Pockets
1 Set of Goggles for Helicopter Landing Assigns,flying debris,etc.
2 Wedge ITs
