Class A, FOOLS Style

Over the last couple of years the fire industry has taken many turns. One of them is the emphasis on when and where a firefighter can wear a Class A uniform.

In years past, most departments allowed their personnel to wear the Class A to any function (parades, lectures and other FD related activities) and one did not have to get permission to do so. Today, though, is a different time and we are looked at in a different light.These days if you wear your Class A to any event, you must get permission from your department because in their eyes, you are officially representing your department. Even further, some departments will discipline their employees (as far as termination) if an individual is found wearing their Class A uniform without permission.

Attention all Chapters! The FOOLS International Executive Board is now accepting letters of intent to hold the annual FOOLS Convention in 2011.
