These are being purchased to be the second set of turn -out gear for all department firefighters. The need for a second set of turn -out gear is necessitated in the fact that after every fire it is required to have all gear decontaminated which often times includes washing and drying of the gear. This potentially place the gear out of service for up to 24 hours. In addition if a piece of gear is damaged or in some other fashion put out of service by having a second set this allows a firefighter to continue to perform his or her firefighting duties.
