My nephew had a question recently about adequate protection of the boots that firefighters wear
He recently saw some firefighters at a station walking around in shorts and flip-flops
A call came in and he saw him just jump into their boots. Pull their pants up and takeoff.
So the question is, are the boots rated so they can adequately protect a firefighters bare feet during a structure fire?
And why don’t they put some sort protective socks on their feet, the same as they were a protected hood on their head before they put their helmet on?
