New York is the only state that has "requirement". The other things are recommendations. I personally carry and EXO.

Like Brooks, I don't know of any requirements out there specifically, and like many NFPA requirements it would have to be adopted. However, we did go through an extensive RIT, bailout and self survival course this past spring and last fall. In that was learning bailout techniques, head first ladder bailout, rope bailout, charged handline and so forth. Not sure if that would fall under the same thing and don't know if the NFPA is referring to the requirements of the systems themselves, not that all FF's should have one.
