    Like everyone says, …
    Like everyone says, you should def have vests and packs on. You look all tough going in balls to the wall, but at 1:22 a little pop and they all flinch like pussies. I had an engine give me a magnesium flare-up but I had my pack on and barely noticed it happened. If I didn’t have a pack on I would have had bad burns to my face. This is not firefighting in 1980, you need to realize it is a different world now.
