When a Fire Fighter gets the call for help every moment becomes precious time needed to save lives. Hours of dedication and practice is required to quickly put on 75 pounds of gear and be ready for action.  A Fire Fighter’s goal is to be ready for a call in one minute or less.   Andrew Roberto, with two years under his belt at the Mahopac Volunteer Fire Department, shows us how a Fire Fighter gets safely and quickly into his protective gear.  Captain Joe Munch, a 20-year veteran, explains the technical aspects of the gear as well as some very important safety features developed since 9/11.  Watch the clip and be as impressed as we were.
