- WHY wear ALTERNATIVE PPE? -
When that structural call comes in, you rely on your turnout gear for protection. Alternative PPE gives you an option for other non-structural calls, keeping your turnouts ready for the next battle.
Alternative PPE is lighter, putting less stress on your body and leaving you with more energy for whatever comes your way.
Studies show that heat stress takes a toll on your body over years of firefighting. More exposure to contaminants on your turnouts also puts you at risk over time. That means the right gear for the right call can help you avoid the long-term effects of overheating and contaminant exposure and keep doing what you do best—fighting fires.
