Question for firefighters…?

What tools do you carry on/in your turnouts, and why? I have two door wedges on my helmet, a Husky razor/utility knife (razer on one end, knife on the other) that comes in handy on car wrecks cause the razor is easier to get out than a seat belt cutter and cuts it like butter, and a pair of lineman’s pliers for battery cables mostly. I keep the knife in my left coat pocket, and the pliers in my right coat pocket. Never cared for tool belts. I think they look silly, and most people that wear them carry more tools than they need. Your not there to fix their water heater, you know what I mean? What about you guys?

I carry 30′ of rope and a caribener in my left pant pocket for bail-outs and RIT. In my right pant pocket I carry cable cutters for all kinds of wire, 30′ webbing for a rescue sling, 3′ prussic cord, multi-plier tool, rescue hammer, & a flashlight. Right coat pocket extrication gloves, left coat pocket 30′ rope & caribener. I wear a truck man’s belt with two caribeners and a rescue wrench and personal halligan. I carry a Stream-light on the outside of my jacket & on my helmet I have ESS goggles, 4 wedges, & a Garrity light. All my equipment is for self preservation, RIT, and rescue.
