Are the sleeves too short, it may cause an injury, "says Sven Emcee Wahlstedts platoon leader (39), which is also active in the ABC-train the county Fire Services Association. Three years took him and his firefighter’s colleagues until they had opted for the sand-colored protective safety clothing from the Austrian manufacturer Exports.
"The color we have chosen because of the better visibility day and because it soot and other contaminants are much more visible," said Emcee.
