A tree that’s on the roof of a car that’s on its four wheels initially might not seem like anything special or unique. However, the tree itself is full of concerns to consider. The round shape of the tree trunk creates the issue in which it can roll in either direction off of the roof. Where the tree landed can influence the thought process greatly. Is it at the midpoint of the tree, to the extent that it’s teetering in the center? Is only one end of it on the vehicle? How is it stabilized? Can a strut be used, or is it best to set up a chain basket in coordination with the struts?

In the effort to remove PFAS from hazmat suits that can be decontaminated after exposure to be reused and can be repaired, Ansell applied coated fabric to its AlphaTec Phantom garment. As a result, user comfort level is less than that which is provided by counterparts that are textile-based but contain PFAS, but the members of the FDNY hazmat training center found the downgrade more than tolerable.
