Lessons Learned
Personal Protective Equipment
| • | The firefighter who received minor burns was wearing leather gloves and had a flame-resistant shroud covering his face during the deployment. |
| • | The other firefighter left his gloves in a vehicle and was not wearing a shroud. |
| • | This is a powerful testament to the effectiveness of these PPE items. While on a wildfire, all firefighters should have gloves within reach and a shroud readily available. |
