Well I don't smoke so lket's see what I can add to the question that has been asked and answered at least 5 million times here.

In my coat pockets:
4 way screwdriver
Gerber tool
Safety Glasses
EMS gloves
Folding spanner
4AA Flashlight, I think it is a UK
I also have a survivor light on my coat

In my pants pockets:
Self rescue kit, required by the FD, 25 feet of 8mm kevlar rope, 2 caribiners and a figure 8
Victim removal strap, it is a 9 foot loop sewn together, it has multiple uses
Door straps
note pad and pen

Helmet
2 door wedges, old fashioned wood ones I cut myself, I just can;t see spending the money for the plastic ones since I lose these once or twice a year
UK 4AA flashlight

Gut Belt
Vise grip multi-tool
Spyderco knife



I know, I know, some will say what the F&^% you need all that for, well, I have used it all and when you are on the fourth floor of an apartment building and need a screwdriver it beats the heck out of having to go all the way back to the rig.

Some on my FD carry far more...they look like Batman with autility belt or perhaps MacGiver.

Don't forget the search tool. It'll help you find the many posts that have covered this elsewhere.
