I’m all for the fun and games, but bringing SCBAs into the kitchen? Nah. We all know these things can only get so clean.

Do you have gear washers at your stations? We use the new Scott packs that can be easily disassembled and placed in the gear washer. We’ve tested multiple sets of gear after fires, washing and drying them afterward, and the results showed ‘no contamination found’—same with the pack harness. While I still prefer not to have gear worn in ‘clean areas,’ it’s safe to say that properly washed gear is probably cleaner than some station pants that haven’t been laundered in weeks.
