SUMMARY:Webinar - Right Gear\, Right Response: The Case for Alternative PPE in the Volunteer Fire Service
DESCRIPTION:Firefighters are trained to use the right tool for every job\, but that principle doesn’t always carry over to PPE. Structural turnout gear is routinely used for EMS calls\, MVAs\, and technical rescues\, leading to increased health risks\, unnecessary wear on expensive equipment\, and higher long-term costs. This webinar explores why alternative PPE – including wildland\, technical rescue\, and EMS-specific gear – is a critical strategy for today’s volunteer fire service\, and how matching the right gear to the right response can improve safety\, reduce PFAS exposure\, and lower costs for your department. This webinar is sponsored by Ricochet. \nPresenter: David Eskew
