I am sure that this topic has come up, but I want to get some opinions. I start on shift part-time (academy is finally done) and was wondering what everyone kept in their pockets or on their turnouts. I have a spring loaded center punch, a flashlight, and was going to get a good piece of webbing and a knife. Anything else that I am missing? Let me know what you carry. Thanks,
Leader

The senior guy on my shift told me to keep some on me in case I was pumping at a large fire and had multiple lines running off my engine. When a crew called down for a decrease/increase in pressure or to shut down the line, I would have each line marked on the pump panel....i.e. nowhere town Engine 2, Somewhere city Engine 5, etc. Instead of having to figure out which line goes to which crew.
Good for a quick game of tic-tac-toe as well!

I was at a live burn today and came out and found a damn small strofoam cup in my pocket from a call the other night. Needless to say, it was melted.Just know, I chose my own fate. I drove by the fork in the road and went straight.
