Whitepaper: Choosing The Right Fire Gear for Every Job

For non-fire emergencies, is full turnout gear the best choice for firefighter safety?

According to the NFPA, only 35-percent of calls to fire stations were fire-related in 2018, and it's estimated that only around one-third of calls require full turnout gear.

Lakeland's whitepaper analyzes the overuse of turnout gear for non-fire emergencies and offers a solution that can help fire departments stay protected and choose the right tools for every job.

• The Problem: Over-using turnout gear for non-fire related emergency calls.
• The Solution: Choosing the right tools for the job and using alternative fire protective gear options for non-fire related emergency calls.
• Business Benefits: There are safety, financial and logistical benefits to using alternative personal protective equipment for non-emergency calls.
