I brought some helmets here too.
And the helmet fit perfectly to your head.
They made it a mold to your head.
So you didn't need a chin strap.
It just stayed on there.
And then when Giuliani came in as mayor,
And we had a couple of fires where guys got killed and everything.
And he couldn't believe how shabby we looked because we had nobody fixed their gear.
Nobody gave you new gear.
So you went years with this gear.
And it looked like the coats were all ripped up.
And I loved the way it looked.
Like the Blaze News Bears, huh?
And all the other fire departments around the country.
And they already had bunker pants and bunker coats.
And they had hoods that you had to wear these.
I hated all of that.
I hated the bunker pants.
I hated the hoods.
And so that changed right there from the uniforms.
