Firefighter uniforms have special styles cut for women. They even have a maternity style. These firefighter uniforms have a pull on pant with elastic waist, and a yellow mesh panel to allow for growth during pregnancy. Being comfortable with what you are wearing is almost as important as the job. It is hard to maneuver hoses and other heavy equipment in uncomfortable firefighter uniforms. No one can predict when an incident will occur, so be prepared with the best protection available. Linemen are exposed to the hazards of flash fires or explosions. Many injuries can be avoided or minimized if workers are wearing flame resistant, protective firefighter uniforms.
