WHAT TO WEAR: It is a union event so wearing a union shirt is most appropriate. If you get your MDA/ IAFF Fill the Boot shirt beforehand feel free to wear it or a previous years t-shirt. In the past most have worn turnout bottoms, if you do I'd recommend with tennis shoes as standing in turnout boots for long periods of time starts to get uncomfortable. It is also recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. A brim hat such as a tilly hat works well to protect ears, face, and neck from the sun, we have had 90+ degree days in the past! Your individual department may have requirements of what you can and can't wear.
