Review of 4 fire boots
If in need of a durable and well fit boot you could use all day and not hurt at the end. Try the 5555 Honeywell Nighthawk. You will like.

Good read! Make our time on the fire ground as efficient/effective as possible. Instead of trying to look good for the camera.

Rest In Peace Lt. Richard Hamilton – FDNY (RET)
I read the book several times. Outstanding. So many inspiring parts and lessons. Often used it in tactics class to bring life to a subject. He was one of the great generation. Thank you Loo. Jim Davis, Winter Haven. Retired 42 years.
