In past years, firefighters typically let their protective suits, or turnout gear, get soiled and potentially toxic, as this 15-year-old photo of firefighter Shane Nantz at a Charlotte training fire shows. More firehouses now have the equipment to clean the gear on site, Nantz says. Clean or not, turnout gear may contain toxic PFAS chemicals.
