What do firefighters wear video transcript

Firefighter: Hi, my name's Chase and I work at Stafford Fire Station and also retained at Cannock Fire Station.

Here at Stafford, I work on red watch.

Okay, so what do firefighters wear?

General firefighter clothing, thick and fireproof so we can go into fire hotter than an oven.

Road incidents, bright and fluorescent so other cars and road users can see us.

Water rescue clothing, waterproof and buoyant to keep us floating and dry in the water.

Working at heights rescue clothing, heavy, warm overalls and helmet to protect us when high up in cold weather.

Grass fire clothing, thin and lightweight to keep us cool when we fight fires in hot weather.

Hazmat incident suit, a thick plastic suit to stop nasty chemicals getting on our skin.
