Fire systems, they're important...

i wore triple layer suit, head sock. top n bottom nomex underwear, nomex socks, shoes and gloves. I actually had 3rd degree burns over 19% and 1st and 2nd over the remaining 81%. the nomex helped, but my worst burns were everywhere my firesuit was tight, like elbows, knees etc. those sleek svelte finely tailored firesuits look good, but the baggier the suit is, the better it protects from thermal burns. I also got bad lung burns and pneumonia from breathing in the soot, from the burning plastic on the helmet shield. the fire extinguisher didnt do much. needed to be about a 40lb tank to have really helped. buy the very best personal gear,,,,trust me
