On December 27, 2018, firefighters Pier-Alexandre Pineault, Sylvain Perrier and Sébastien Godon-Leroux had the opportunity to test the firefighting gear during a fire at 37 Saint-Eustache Street.

Strong and reliable, firefighters’ gear can withstand the stresses of the job. It is made up of three layers: the outside layer provides water protection, the middle layer protects against humidity, and the cushioned inside layer protects against heat.
