  • Rubber turn out coats that burn, plastic helmets that melted and some times caught fire. Safety gear NOT.

  • @samten10a >>>---> Those helmets were aluminium and not plastic but good conductors of electricity.

  • I think the year is wrong, we weren't using SCBA's that early.

  • @ralphwestjr Oh yes they were! The NOFD was using them, but not to the extent they are used today. The old and vacant Senator Hotel, a French Quarter landmark, was destroyed in January, 1968.
