Spotlight: Know your PPE
For this special section we examine four components of PPE. We surveyed our readers about their preferences in turnout gear, looked for answers in the rubber vs. leather boot debate, asked leading manufacturers what to look for in helmets — both today and tomorrow — and took a hard look at the rescue glove. Take care of your PPE and stay safe.
