Just when you think you’ve seen it all there is a department running around with SCBA on and shorts.

summer response attire, can't get too hot on the job you know!

[@greyman686]

Why sit in the road, running your pump, and take in all that smoke?

[@OnLocation1]

Engineers, trying to make sure water supply is ready to go

[@mrsmith1339]

Lots of men, lots of hoses and lots of water on the target.

I have never seen FF in shorts and SCBAs before! It's just wrong!

Ya unless they are the newbies and aren't actually going in...
Hose monkeys

Looking dumb > going to the hospital with smoke inhalation
Humping 5" will take your breath away on a normal day.

Why is it "wrong"?
Lets see you wear bunkers & turnout on 100+ degree day

@@virgilhilts3924 if you're wearing SCBAs you really need to be in full gear. I do understand the heat stress issues but wearing partial gear sends a bad message to junior personnel that it's okay to be lax in how you dress for the response. I see far too many FF not wearing PPE when they should be, and I see lots of injuries happening. I've been in fires on 110 F days, and I've worked in engine rooms in 125 F days, so I know from heat
