I would think that if they do something, they've got a good reason for doing it. As a civilian, I have no clue whether the bosses should wear PPE's or not. I'm thinking, though, that *they* know whether they should wear PPE's, and that's good enough for me.

@@baruchben-david4196Firefighter here, he knows that he absolutely should be wearing PPE. More than likely he’s used to not wearing it, because back in the day during his days as a lineman they were pretty lax about having PPE on during the entire operation. If you weren’t actively in the fire, or if it was out, you weren’t on air back then. Cancer prevention nowadays makes it so even after the fire is out firefighters should still have PPE on to prevent breathing in the off gases. Older guys in the service sometimes still forgo that sentiment due to resistance to change.

In this business, if you don’t get ready for the unknown, it’s extremely rare to get a second chance no matter what position you hold on the fireground. When and if you become a boss that thought process is not good for subordinates. It just opens the door to whatever you want, you do. The job of chief officer is to get your people back home safe. You have to set a good example for future chief officers or bosses.

I would be worried everytime I'd face a warehouse fire. You never really know what could be stored in there. Some stuff will be inventoried, but other things may be 'forgotten' in a corner.

If one of mine (Probie or Chief) walked in to that structure bunkered up with SCBA on and flowing but the gloves off, we would have had a conversation, in private, back at the station. The reason being the FF1 that is fresh off the orange shield is watching that Chief and thinking "Well he he does not need gloves, neither do I." But the difference is that FF1 does not have the same experience as the Chief and has now become a liability.

@straytrons3450

The basic answer is 'entanglement and lack of suitable tie-offs' Unlike a construction where a tie-off to the building structure is common and limits fall distances and swing angles in the event of a fall, a fire ground is highly dynamic with only certain areal apparatus offering potential for tie-off and the operational distances from those tie-offs being very limited. OSHA tie-off and fall protection is strictly regulated by 29 CFR Part 19210 and part 1926 for construction, but are not always required for fire ground operations due to the emergency nature of the event. You do not want to tie-off to the burning structure as the building is already compromised by fire. Any structurally installed tie-offs would be questionable at best, and create a greater hazard in the event of a structural collapse. Operating several firefighters off an areal apparatus tie-off would require them to closely coordinate movement to prevent entanglement of safety lines in a situation that already has then near task and situational awareness saturation. Other firefighters reaching the roof from other means, like ground ladders, and internal stairways would likely not be operating near a areal apparatus. In addition, internal operations and roof operations use a 'sounding' method to roughly determine the structural stability of floor and roof components prior to placing weight on them. The floor or roof is 'sounded' or struck with the irons to feel and listen to the building and locate weak or soft spots. While not perfect, it gives the FF a basis on the safety of that portion of the roof or floor. The IC and other officers are responsible, along with the FF's operating there, in determining when the structure has reached a point of instability that requires removal from roof or other internal areas prior to structural collapse. I am a volunteer firefighter with nearly 40 years of structure, aircraft, and shipboard firefighting experience in the US Navy and several VFD's. I am not associated with the JFRD.
