Hey all,
First, let me say I'm new here, so go easy. Second, I tried searching for this and couldn't find an answer after about an hour, so I have put forth due diligence.
My question is very simply this: Is there a universal norm for the use of turnout gear in EMS Depts. out there? I'll be starting with a private Co. and can't find their specific policies, but I've noticed that turnout gear is fairly common among EMS folks.
Essentially, I'm trying to figure out if I'll need to get a hold of some bunker gear because like many here, I'm not exactly rolling in the dollar bills and will need to start saving if it's essential.
If there's already a thread on this, I apologize. Remember, I'm a newbie. Speak to me as you would a child.
