Our "Traditional" bunker gear costs more than 1500 per person already.  For a few hundred dollars, each of us can also have a radio.  Fire gear has to be washed regularly (the soot from household fires has some nasty stuff in it) and tends to wear out in a few years.  It also weighs a good bit.  By the time I make entry and crawl into a building on hands and knees, fully encapsulated, breathing bottled air, carrying a tool and maybe dragging a line -- I've got 70+ pounds plus my 200.  Its either pitch dark or thick white steam fog and smoke, and its several hundred degrees.  The idea of carrying more junk with me that will increase the cost and complexity of that gear doesn't appeal at all.<br><br>:-)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew Pollack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2007 9:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i-Garment's "smart suit" helps disaster relief agents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</guid><description><![CDATA[What a load of gumph.   Your suit, radio, BA apparatus and tools would have all been unheard of 50+ years ago but that's what the march of APPLICABLE technology does.   Have some patience and wait for it to become more applicable in a high haz environment.<br><br><br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BigBirdUK]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2007 9:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i-Garment's "smart suit" helps disaster relief agents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</guid><description><![CDATA[  Just because technology is new, doesn't mean it is good.  Before  you assume that I'm some kind of knuckle dragging luddite firefighter (or a truckie), consider that perhaps I'm also a technology developer.  <br>( <a href="http://www.secondsignal.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.secondsignal.com</a> )   The thing is, for technology to be adoptable, it has to be really new, or really better, and it needs to integrate seamlessly and with little or no effort.<br><br>This seems to add no value over the radio I carry -- most of which are used for emergencies only, as there shouldn't be radio traffic from more than one person in a particular group or division (assuming you're making the effort toward NIMS compliance).  It is, on the other hand, integrated into expensive wearable gear that isn't easily exchanged with others.  Presumably, I can't just hang it on a hook or the battery will not stay ready.  Is it going to be "intrinsically safe" (won't have any internal sparks at all so it can be used around gas leaks)?<br><br>It just begs the question.... WHY?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew Pollack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2007 10:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on i-Garment's "smart suit" helps disaster relief agents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/28/i-garments-smart-suit-helps-disaster-relief-agents/</guid><description><![CDATA["FIREFIGHTER NEEDS FOOD"<br>"FIREFIGHTER NEEDS FOOD"<br>"FIREFIGHTER NEEDS FOOD"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rocketboy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2007 7:40AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
