PROTECTIVE GEAR

The Dunklin Fire Protection District mandates all fire department personnel to wear protective gear during certain emergency incidents. A complete set of protective gear adds approximately 30lbs. of weight to a firefighter. A complete set of protective gear can cost approximately $3,500.00. The Dunklin Fire Protection District utilizes self-contained breathing apparatus manufactured by SCOTT, which usually provides forty-five minutes of fresh air during a fire. Below is a couple pictures of protective gear a Dunklin Firefighter wears.
