However I hope that it does not become the fiasco the Heart/Lung and Health studies that were conducted and now the Locals fight the Chief and Boards when they try to implement a fitness program the International has endorsed. Keep up the good work an hope all will benefit from this project in the future. I appluade the IAFF for taking on this project.

I really hope this will turn into a useful product for the Fire Service, however I cringe when I think of what will happen when NFPA standards are applied to it. Looks Fantastic!!

Who remembers the MSA Brigade? That was my first helmet, why did this style not fly in the US...Easy And I quote "while the new design is obviously safer, the helmets looked funny like they came out of Star Wars." Yes that is in reference to the European style Helmet, but this line of thinking holds true. Why are we already shooting something down for the simple fact that it looks different? Someone said that our Current bottles are stronger. Sure your steel bottle is, what about your fiberglass one? Everytime you gouge it it needs to be inspected. Bottom line, just because its different, lets keep an open mind for our safety and check our egos at the door. 300 years of tradition unimpeded by progress… this haunts the fire service.
