And make sure your company will pay your bills when you get injured and don't have on any PPE. :) I was 20 once,too. And when I was 20, we did fire overhaul in t shirts and bunker pants. No way I'd do that today. I'm more concerned with my own safety than anyone who's trapped in a car or in a room on fire.

But that's just me.

It makes me crazy when I see people put themselves in situations when they can easily have a career ending injury... simply because they're gung ho.

I just had a young volunteer firefighter thrown off an MVA scene because he attempted to climb into an unstable car without PPE. That's not being a hero or a lifesaver, that's just pain dumb.
