I am on my third copy of ladder 49, my daughter will be 3 in February and it is her favourite movie, at least twice a day if not 3 or 4 times we watch it. Does anybody else see a future firefighter about 20 years down the road!

I've worn both from cairns metro 660 to the N5a and N6a. I liked the philly helmet the worst helmet ive worn was the lion legend traditional style they are uncomfortable. But always leather forever

Mike Vance replied to Michael Rocke's discussion 'Under Armour'
although it helps to keep you cool, anything with polyester in it will melt under the conditions that we work in. A fellow firefighter at my department received minor burns due to this. Hope you can talk them out of it. Stay Safe

I have worn both, the new helmets are a little lighter, somewhat smaller, but the traditional helmets look a hell of a lot cooler with the right shield

When I first joined I was given a leather New Yorker. Then we were told years later we would start wearing Metro 660s. Since then there as been a mix of helmets from the traditional style helmets to Metro style that the county offers to all person...

Not this year, I was in Vermont last year however and took the Advanced Auto Ex Course. I recently moved and had to resign from North Dundas FD. I am waiting for a spot to open up where I live now, also waiting to hear from a couple of career departments.
