What not to wear

A personal story on why the PPE is important, even when you're hot and it's uncomfortable. Here's me during the Witch fire:

Note the lack of helmet (I left it in the truck) and the lack of shroud. And we won't even talk about the cotton bandanna...

Anyway, I got a couple decent burns on the back of my neck that night, which were not serious but hurt like the dickens for a week. Could have been avoided completely had I simply bothered to wear that helmet and shroud.
