Personal equipment/your "uniform"

[Timmy]

We get supplyed with a full uniform. As long as you put in the hours and show dedication they'll buy you what ever you want really...

down here no one on the fire dept's has a "uniform". Most show up in shorts,t-shirts, jeans and old fashioned bib overalls. My vollie uniform consists of a camo hat and shirt with dept name. We have several sets of turn-outs on the truck and you use the one that fits. PS never used it in almost a year.

We don't run ambulances thru the fire dept. The private ambulance crew does have a polo shirt and medis pants as there uniform. At a scenes, you can't tell the spectators from the first responders.

The rescue squad that I am on in Minnesota wears whatever. It depends on when you joined the squad. Over time we have gotten sweatshirts and t-shirts. We just got polos. We don't wear EMT pants. We have coats that Id who we are and pretty much wear those when we are on calls. There really isn't a uniform that we are required to wear on calls. Most of us just show up in whatever we happen to be wearing when the call comes in. But remember that we don't really work shifts, we are on call 24/7 so that might make a difference.

Don't you have like overalls or something? What about protection gear? That seems dangerous to me. So you cut up cars in your own cloths?
