Holy smokes – that's heavy! How much does basic PPE weigh?
Answer 45 pounds
Basic PPE includes a coat, helmet, hood, gloves, boots, pants, and air pack. This clocks in at around 45 pounds. If additional PPE – like a radio, box light, thermal imaging camera, ax, and Halligan bar – is also carried, that can up the weight to 75 pounds!
