Along with shears and other things. I prefer to carry a window punch, and bandana. I have gotten into some situations where I have had to breath through my bandana.
Stay safe, Nikki

I dont have any tools right now in my gear. I just got on a new department and have not put my stuff in the gear yet. But in my old gear with my old house, I had multi tool, gloves, med gloves, wire cutters, screw driver, and a knife. I think that was all.

In my Bunker pants pockets I carry a spanner wrench, seatbelt cutter, a combo tool (Pliers/snips/knife/screwdriver) and a wedge in one pocket. I carry my 2 sets of extrication gloves in my other pant pocket. My fire gloves and my Responder 90*angle flashlight are attatched to my bunker coat so all I carry is my nomex hood and an extra pair of gloves in my coat pockets. I dont carry anything on my helmet , the damn things are heavy enough w/o anything on them why add more weight. : )

I think everyone experiences dictate what they carry. As for me:

Helmet - 1 large wooden wedge, 2 small wooden wedge for sprinklers, and a flashlight

Coat - Leatherman tool, center punch, set of allen wrenches, 3 foot length of webbing, pull station keys, trauma shears, and a flashlight

Pants - 30 foot of rescue rope with 2 carabiners, a tool roll (flat head and phillips head screw driver, snips, cable cutters, and pliers), and a pair of work gloves.

I also carry a small bag on the truck with me that carries my mask, hood, 3-c mag-lite, tin snips, turnout gloves, respirator/filter, ana digital camera.

I would rather have whatever I need with me than have to walk back to the truck to grab it.

Stay safe!
