Doffing Superheated Gear

Posted by Allan Graves at 9/18/2011 08:02:00 PM
The proper method of removing superheated turnout gear is:

Raise arms to dissipate heat
Open coat.
Have someone remove the coat by rolling it away from the body.

Do not:

Wet down gear while being worn.
Compress the gear against the body.
