There’s a few techniques that this rookie missed that could have cut his time significantly. Such as putting both arms in the jacket and flipping it over your head. He should have also done the same with his air pack. The captain put his hood on first completely over his head, which is what I do when I donn gear. It ensures that the hood doesn’t get caught under the jacket and gets bunched up. In my first fire, I had made that mistake with my hood and when I pulled it out, the entire hood came out of my jacket and I couldn’t get it tucked back in in time. I could feel the heat on the back of my neck really good because of that.

@spartanmikek028

Technically the captain did check his purge valve that's why the air was free flowing prior to him putting on his mask. It was already in open position and he had to close it. Im thinking maybe in your department you have to check it with your mask on? Since the purge valve doesn't operate in any way off pressure it's not required to have the mask on in our department to check it. Its also not part of the turn out drill in our department. He did cheat though the most common way i usually see the old guys cheat the probies. The Capt. didn't open his bottle all the way while the probie did. Man, when i first started we had the old school scba's that had the low pressure tube that was pre connected to the mask. So no one had their own masks you got which ever was attached to the bottle. So in live fire training you would go to put the mask on and see all the sweat and god only knows what else the previous person left. You could however throw those packs hella fast. Guys could hit sub 20 seconds.

Fire Captain is one of the coolest titles I’ve ever heard.

I know this is just a friendly competition but quick question, do american firefighters get kitted up and BA on on route to the job?

Life saving advice here: Always pull your hood over the mask from the front of your face, AFTER you put on the mask. When you first put on the hood, and then the mask, you are endangered to loosen the straps of the mask while pulling the hood over it from behind! Please share and help your fellow firefighters!

Seems doable if you mask up before getting in the truck. Otherwise you can't get your hood correctly under your coat. Plus masking up lowers visibility and it will fog up while off of air which will make you look pretty stupid if you fall getting out of your apparatus especially if the public happens to be filming you.

Nope. Your flash hood needs to be under your coat and over your shoulders. Don flash hood at station under your bunker coat then mask up once on scene. SCBA is donned in truck en route.

As voluntary firefighters we are getting into the truck with our coat already on, we do not have personalized hoods. They are stored together with the masks. With our coats it is no problem to put on the mask while driving to the scene and stuffing the hood under the coat. But it seams to me that our hoods are shorter than the American models.

And due to a second, integrated mask, that encloses mouth and nose, we don't have any problems with fogging up the glass/visor. That's just an issue for us if we are wearing the hazmat suits. Again: Every firefighter should pay close attention to not loosen the mask's straps when putting on the hood.

Maaaan, after all that I'm living in the suit.

Damn, that takes a lot longer than I imagined. But of course I was sick when my class went to the Fire Dept...

Captain was like " *you gone learn today!* "

I'm kinda confused on which one is the captain and one is the rookie.

@Johnny’s Bricks the humor is weak with this one.

The 🔥 stopped after you guys dressed up😂

I got proud when I saw this, as a rookie who does this time to time Under 2mins. I'm not a fire fighter I work as a Security officer at a highrise building and we are required to be trained and do these anual drills. My Criminology Class gave me a good lesson. My instructor is a good firefighter glad he teached us well.

The rookie is by no means slow. As a submariner, we often challenge each other at this too. Our time limit was 2 minutes as well, only difference is we have a dresser each to assist us in donning the full firefighting suit. The rookie just needs to get his steps correct. Often times, rookies would mix up the donning of face mask and antiflash gear sequence which it happened in this video. After more practices, im sure he can be as fast as the seasoned firefighter

I remember those days when I would have to try to beat the captain because we use have races to see who got to due the bathroom duty .

Both looked pretty sloppy if you ask me, rookie would have got station duties for blowing 2 mins though haha

Hehe, the real world, brother! Don your gear and do it right. My firefighter had plenty of time. In the right seat it's a bit different, listening to the radio and thinking about conditions. Multiple reports, being second on scene makes it easier. Don't care how many calls go by, still enjoy that feeling like the old days, deer in the headlights. Hehe. Still, don your hood before you climb aboard, don your coat, and relax. You can pull that hood back enroute. Old school, man. I really miss it.

This is not good. As a rookie you should make a point to always beat your seniors and supervisors with this.

So, I'm not a firefighter or an expert at donning gear by any means. However, I was apart of the fire explorers in my area. Donning gear is rough man. Even so, most of us explorers were able to don gear in under a minute and a half, and I actually kinda miss doing that. Seriously thinking about becoming a volunteer firefighter in my area. Just haven't had the confidence since I have asthma and it spikes during extreme physical activity.

A better method for getting the Scott pack on from the ground is laying it on the ground upside down, and hunching over and flipping it over your head, while you’re hunched over you can easily grab the straps and tighten as you stand up straight. Swinging it on the way in the video sometimes can get your turnout coat bunched up inside.
