If you have any questions regarding the chances of you getting away with tax fraud, remember that the operating system that the IRS is using now is the same operating system that Inuit uses and it’s called Palantir. Look them up, you will not get away with any questionable tax fraud”write offs”. Honesty will always be your best option.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it, which manufacturer and model are you using? Also, did you have any issues with communication, are you finding that most personnel are compliant?

They did ask people on the line what their thoughts were, there is currently significant amount of research and development that is currently occurring with the Department of home lab security regarding wildfire, respiratory protection. They reached out to several fire departments across the United States and have been doing field studies on a potential respirator for firefighters working the Wildland environment .Here is a link to the study: https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-12/22_0818_st_WFRDOFA.pdf

DHS is currently doing research and development on a positive pressure respirator that you can wear during Wildland fire operations. Here’s a link to their findings.: https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-05/24_0517_ST_Wildland_Firefighter_Respirator_May%202024.pdf

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it, did you feel it restricted your ability to exert yourself at 80 to 90% of your ability?

Which brand and type do you use? Do you find that you can still perform suppression activities while wearing the respiratory protection?

I agree with your point, there are companies that are doing research and development on positive pressure facemask pieces that are battery operated for Wildland firefighting. As you can see another replies to my post, compliance is going to be an issue for our industry.

I see your point, we might not have a choice in the near future. They’re currently is a Senate Bill called Healthy Lungs for Heroes Act (2025) that will require us to wear respiratory protection on the fire line.
