Equipment Needed for Fire Certification

Dennis Rein, Apr 29, 2003

As for the fire training, don't sweat the equipment. We can loan the critical pieces except for boots. Once folks have completed the week they'll have a much better idea of what and where to get gear. There are some really expensive places that will sell you mediocre gear. We have had good luck with Trans-con Mfg. http://www.transconmfg.com

Your folks will need to bring boots:

Leather, min 6" tall (measured from the bottom of the heel to the top of the collar), Vibram soled, lace-up (no zippers or velcro).

The final list will look something like this:

Boots, Fire Gloves-
