Our most used piece of equipment in the fire service is our personal protective equipment, but too many firefighters do not have the proper knowledge of their PPE. Learn what your PPE cannot do, proving it is not anything “proof.” The class will include a review of the NFPA standards of PPE garments and will concentrate on new NFPA 1970; a step-by-step method on how to specify, bid, and place in service PPE; and the proper cleaning and care of our PPE. If we can reduce our exposure, we can start to reduce the ravages caused by cancer in the fire service.
