Firefighting's Hidden Dangers

in life •  7 years ago 

See this picture? This is why firefighting is so dangerous over the long term. I was fully suited up in full bunker gear working at a grass fire. Full PPE, worn properly, and this is what I ended up looking like. This was a grass fire so it wasn't as bad as a house fire, but can you imagine what my body absorbed if this was what was left outside.

Wear your PPE.
Wear it properly.
Go home safely every time.
When you get home, shower and get rid of the crap on your skin.
