I have noticed that few RFS fire fighters appear to wear smoke protection. Many of these people have put in hundreds of hours at the fire front over recent months. I am concerned about the long term health effects that these volunteers are facing. You look at their city brigade counterparts, most of whom are equipped with positive pressure air masks, and these "professionals" would not see the sort of fire facing hours/days/weeks that the volunteers are putting in. . What is going to happen ten years or more down the track to these guys? Does anyone know what the NSW RFS policy is on smoke protection?
