The ensemble includes, but is not limited to, turnout <br />trousers, turnout coat and rubber boots, is worn on all structure <br />fires, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents and most <br />training sessions, and over a period of time will deteriorate due to <br />excessive use. The Santa Ana Fire Department Maintenance Division <br />keeps a minimum quantity of this ensemble in storage. The items in <br />storage are issued on an as needed basis and purchased annually. <br /> <br />The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CalOSHA) <br />mandates minimum requirements for firefighter protective turnout <br />clothing, and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) requires <br />replacement after a five-year service life, or as necessary to replace <br />worn gear. The recommended actions will allow for another phase of <br />turnout coat and trouser, and rubber boots replacement. <br /> <br />22E-1 <br /> <br />CS 38:J <br />
