Fireman

Fun with a soda-fire extinguisher prop, 2017.

Why

No particular reason. I just thought it would be fun to see if I could buy the different parts of a Fire & Rescue kit.

Nomex Fire gear, generally used from 1989 to 1999.
Current fire uniform type.

When

I got the tunic and trousers in December 2003 and the helmet in January 2004.

Elements

Jacket, trousers, helmet, novelty fire extinguisher.

Amount of Work

None.

Level of use

Twice out, once to visit a new girlfriend. Once or twice at home parties.

Notes

I first wore it out anywhere in August 2004 for my 30th birthday gathering in Leeds. Other than that, I’ve only worn it one other time and that was in August 2017 when I did the Otley Run in it by myself.

Future use

The costume is no longer a current issue, but I could still get away with wearing it again and having fun with it I think.
