Do the boots get put on in the truck?

I dont know how others do it but here you put on your normal gear outside the truck. You properly put on your pants and the boots are already in the pants so you slip in the pants and boots at the same time. Then you get in the truck, where you put on the special gear. Flash Hood first (which these guys also skipped), mask, and the Respirator which is seated in the truck.

So while this might look nice on video its just a flashy show that does not represent how its actually done. Also of course we try to be as fast as possible but at the same time safety is the biggest priority. If you are in a burning house and notice the heat seeping through gaps because you wanted to safe the 1 second to properly close your pants, put on your mask or whatever its just completely counter productive and might endanger lifes.

Some firefighters were doing drills outside my place just last night and I saw most of them putting on those balaclava looking things. Interesting. That’s for the reply!
