What is in your pocket?

[Firewalker918]

What do you carry in your turn out gear pockets? please tell me what you carry and the use(s) for it.

I am puting together a training game to indentify and tell the usees for various tools and items that can be used on scenes.

Things I have in my pockets are:

Golf Tees, to plug holes in tanks
Door Chocks, to hold doors open, stop sprinklers
Window punch
Wire nuts
side cutter pliers
grease pencils for marking evac doors, leaks, etc
rope or sling
Multi bit screwdriver
JB weld

[oaattx934]

Oh, gentlemen be nice now! Just to humor him -

Left pants pocket - Pair of folding spanner wrenches, Trauma Shears, Linemans Pliers, Cable cutters, Door chock, Flashlight. All neatly contained in a tool bet pouch obtained at lowes for about 15 bucks, its great everything stands up where you can actually grab it with out digging and it fits perfectly in the pocket of my bunker gear.

And because Im badass here is pictures, mine is the best way, you all need to do what I do lol.

Now you may want to search in the future prior to posting, members or internet forums in general and especially ones relating to the fire service can be fairly harsh if you dont make the effort to find the info on your own.

Thanks for the help,

I know that sometimes your at the mercy of the Board when you make post. So, I figured I would catch some $h!t along the way.

Left Cargo: CPR Pocket Mask, Streamlight, Extrication gloves, Res-Q Wrench

Left jacket: 4AA streamlight, 20' webbing

Right jacket: Spare radio battery in ziploc bag, lockback knife

Inside jacket pocket: Portable Radio

I keep my fire gloves on a gear keeper on the outer right pocket, and I have trauma shears and nitrile gloves in a pouch on my suspenders.

I think I may try the tool belt pockets like pictured above.

oaattx934,

I like that pouch idea. Seems like a good way to keep stuff organized and stop the tools from ripping up your pockets.

I have seen this topic discussed a million times too but this seems like a new twist on it.


Thanks,

Those large cargo pockets

In an effort to keep the coat light and not fill the pockets. The bellows pockets on pants are great for everything: 1 pair of structure gloves, utility strap with a 500 kl/n rated carribener attached, some guys are now carrying a Sav-A-Jak, two wedges for sprinkler control or door wedges, a pair of utility gloves for when after the fire is out, and the primary gloves are wet, folding spanner wrench, a flashlight, and a multi-tool for cutting wires, carpet, sheet rock etc. etc.
