Key lanyard for you trauma shears so if you drop them you don’t lose them

It's a cylinder lol

I’ve managed to get pretty fast at donning everything as long as the zipper dosent get screwed up

Hello! Do you live near the cape cod area if so i am wondering if and where a junior fire program is in the cape cod area

See you got a black helmet now, guessing you got promoted past JR. Congrats! Keep up the Great work. Your videos are amazing!

Nice, keep on

Neat video, thanks man 😊 My pockets are nowhere near as stuffed as yours but so far I never had any issues. I carry door latch wires and a plastic latch shim. What comes in handy also is one of those control cabinet key sets with different square and triangular keys etc. In my case it’s a Knipex Twin Key which is probably as compact as it gets. Even got a second one of those for my private EDC. The same is true for an automatic center punch (mine is a Starrett). Other than that, a rescue knife, two webbing loops with carabiners and gloves (whichever pair I am not currently wearing). That’s it. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the „gadgetry“ (and I do not mean that in a derogatory way at all!) as much as the next guy. In my experience though, carrying too much stuff will result in losing some of it because half of it spills out when you retrieve one item. Things also tend to accumulate in pockets and before you know it you are a walking, talking hardware store for shiny little knick-knacks that only have one very specific use case but are dead weight that you just schlepp along for 364 days of the year on the off chance you might need it. It’s that way for me at least and I have to make a conscious effort to avoid the „gadget trap“, so your mileage may vary. If it works for you though: by all means keep doing it!

hey i'm trying to become a junior firefighter but i'm not to sure how do you know how i can become a junior firefighter

I put my hood in the boot so when you go to lean over you can get it thrown on

You’re carrying way too much much . 2 pieces of webbing 2 sets of wire cutters one on each side of body upper and lower . That’s it for a structure fire . You will learn with more experience. Good luck!! When you first start out , you think you need all of this stuff.

Cable cutters with webbing attached to handle, spring clamp for door control, fire gloves, extrication gloves, and 10-15 ft of webbing with carabiner. Simple and light. Anything else you will need is in a medical bag or tool bag on the truck

What shove knife is that please

im going to my station for the first time what kind of calls can i expect to go on?

Too much crap in your pocket. Most of your stuff can't be opened with gloves on. All you need is webbing 11 in 1 screwdriver utility knife extra flashlight wedge and lineman pliers. The wire cutters are only good for one thing. Lineman do multiple. Wait till you are on the job a few years before you make recommendations. You need more experience. Why do you have a SCBA in your basement? If I was one of your officers I would be ticked off.

Nice! I would like to be a paid firefighter and a volunteer on my free time.

Gerber muliti-tool

You'll find that you can do a lot with a decent pair of trauma shears. My advice would be to hold on to the raptors and take out the seatbelt cutter and the other pair of shears. You should also have 4 or 5 door chocks (one for the front door, two for a stairwell, one for the fire room, and one extra) you can put these on your helmet with a helmet band or carry them in your pockets.

What I carry: Helmet: detachable flashlight (mostly for stuff like car accidents where I need both my hands free and also a light I can move) Chest: streamlight survivor light Radio pocket: cable cutters and 2 wooden chocks Right coat pocket: extrication gloves, trauma shears Left coat pocket: mechanix work gloves, screwdriver, multitool (I will emtpy my coat pockets for fire calls) Right pants pocket: 50ft of 7.5mm rope. Used for all kinds of things. Left pants pocket, 24ft webbing loop rolled up inside an ems glove, channellock "rescue tool" (pliers, hard wire cutters, spanner, gas wrench, pry bar), 2 more door chocks All pretty lightweight stuff that doesn't restrict movement

Just joined my volunteer fire department, thank you for this video

You need to make more vids I love them

.

What are some things I should do at my first meeting as a junior fireman

Really like this setup. You may want to switch out your electrical tape loop with a small portion of webbing on your cable cutters. That loop of electrical tape may become more elastic in a heated environment, and may even fail in a high heat environment. Love the 'rescue bag' idea - I'll be using that. Thanks for sharing.

Great vid!

as a junior firefighter myself, i've found that i carry a screwdriver, and a couple more small wedges, also, i used your method with my webbing in my radio pocket and it works great, stay safe

I use a folding spanner called a Res-Q-Wrench and carry two of them (breaking down hose is easier with two). They are a multi tool and also have a seatbelt cutter built in, and they have been my favorite way of taking glass on an extrication. Light work gloves are good when I need more dexterity and not in a fire or extrication situation. I definitely prefer cable cutters (can also get as a multi-tool with gas shut offs and in a pinch a spanner), de-energizing a car is what I have used them for most, but just being able to cut bigger stuff has helped (like the metal bands on some palletized loads in semi fires). I do like wedges a lot so I carry more cheap wood ones so I don't care if I lose them.

A spare ax.

a lot of stuff

Great video guys! I honestly was thinking about starting to post similar videos as you guys about getting started in the fire service as a junior ff. I am currently the Cadet Asst. Chief for my department and PIO.

Spare hood and extra FF gloves

Thanks for the video and channel !

Nice sharing thanks for sharing video watching from Philippines.

Where you work? No full time guy is carrying that crap. Cutters, small multi tool, webbing rope, quick clips, and some triangles. You try and actually work with that stuff in your gear? Guessing not.

Great video. Personally I keep my streamlight survivor light flipped upside down. It helps when you're laying on the ground to keep the light beam pointing forward. They make leather holders for it and they work great!

Grab some cable cutters to replace the side cutters, if you get caught up in coax, you're going to need the cable cutters. They fit well in the radio pocket. I also carry a multipurpose folding pocket knife that has a 3inch blade, seat belt cutter, and a window punch on it for vehicle extrication. When you start doing interior work, think about how you're going to get out, if that's a bailout bag or repel system, and practice with it.

Awesome vid, personally I’m a two folding spanner guy because I’ve found myself in situations where one spanner is better than one however two would lessen time messing with couplings. Really appreciate you wearing gloves the entire time, if you can’t get it with gloves on don’t plan on getting it at all!

Thanks for having me again. Was fun and glad to give my view on being a jr.
