My friend invited me to come with her, her younger brother and his friend to go to the pool. Once we get there, we all go to the women's locker room. I thought it was rediculous because my friends brother and his friend are 8 9 yrs old! Way too old to be in there. My friend got the last bathroom stall to change in and I was stuck in the big room with everyone else. I tried to wait and change after my friend but her mom made me hurry up and change right there because she was like we are only staying for a few hours. It was so embarrassing, she held up towels so the boys had privacy while I had to put on my suit right there. I even tried to complain but she was like it’s a safety issue just hurry up! I just changed facing the wall. It was so embarrassing because the boys even teased me later about getting so see my bare butt.
Light colored paint reflects, dark colors do not.
Yes, bunker suits or turn-out gear are constructed of mostly Nomex, a heat and flame resistant material that protects the firefighter. Believe` me, you still get a lot of heat through the bunker coats, but you are much better protected than a sports shirt and slacks.
