2. Respirators

My father was a wildland firefighter also, Fact is he is pictured in the July issue 1968 National Geographic standing there wiping smoke out of his eyes while fighting the Big Sur forest fire. I don't know about todays people but I know what he would have said about mandatory respirators, "huh" That shits just going to get lost in the bushes when no ones around" I myself have been in a lot of "Mandatory'' respirator situations lasting months while working in underground mines and I know from experience if they are too hot, obstruct visibility, fog up glasses ect , most guy's will just wear them around their neck until they think some boss or another is about to show up
