at my dept we use fire dex and cairns helmets the boots are power toe
my dept is switching to fire dex i still have morning pride. is fire dex any good or am i just better off keeping my morning pride which i love?
We use janesville iso dry, but if i get the money, i would like to purchase a set of globe or firedex for a second set
I have only worn Globe turnouts.My first was the older PBI material as a Junior and now I have the G-Xtreme, circa 2005-ish.I love the fit of my gear as well as the location and storage space of the pockets. My personal favorite feature would have...
i prefer globe short coat and bib style pants. my dept is all globe except me they bought me firepel short coat and bib style pants.. i like some of the differences between the firepel and the globe. the firepel had thicker knees then the globe. a...
I'm in a brand new set of fire dex, bin pants and short coat, love it so far excepty for break in period, hold rather than black, little cooler in the summer
morning all. Ill have a cup of coffee please..
My wife had the longer coat, went all the way down to her knees. Our current department issues the short coats, which are much easier to put on.
FireDex and Morning Pride. I like the morning Pride turnout gear. We have had flaws with our Fire Dex and the FireDex company didn't stand behind their product.
Most of our people curently have Globe but as we need new gear or new members come on and we dont have ones that we cannt fit them with we are switching to gXtrene. Fortunately I was one of the 1st 4 people who got the new gear and love it. Ive ha...

Hi all double jack and coke please. set the house up with drinks on me.
Ant way i can get a copy? fire302@bellsouth.net
tunnel vision yes probably. :) and yeah...the best way to compensate is to pay attention yourself. the few times I've been on roadside calls, yeah...big target. apparently even bigger target if you're standing next to the fire truck with the flash...
Bought my own Globe short coat/bib pants outfit in the '80s. Trade it anyday for the junk I'm issued now.
I personally don't care who makes the gear what i like is the longer coats i find the short coats tend to ride up around the waste and i don't like that.
Oh, yeah. Those rubber coats from back in the day, were Janesville.

Ayers said… - Hey Eric sorry I have not to back with you but I was out of town on a Chief meeting last week then I got a call you never wanta get...Accident involving my son it really sux to be on the receiving end of that ya know we are not usually on that end of we are the ones who deal with this stuff not receive it. But I guess we are not excluded. So I had to rush back in town and deal with this. Thank goodness he is going to be okay. He is all beat and broken up but no life threatin injuries. But a crippled 19 yr old is tough.

Hi, Hey I didn't think we where ignoring you. One of the things about the saloon was to come up with new story lines and have new people help shape them. As you can see, our latest story has been the DUCK and if you look back thru the pages, it has been dancing, shooting Rudolph, and Cupid, adventures in the Hot Tub, and even some outback adventures including shooting on the range. So I think that if we have ignored you it has been by accident and we would enjoy your take on the DUCK story or anything new you can bring to the bar. If you look back at most of our craziest stories, you will see it is when we have had the most people involved and everyone enjoys it. So give us a try again Eric and let your imagination go.. Tom
