- P.J Give me you email address again and I'll send you what I have on Ice Rescue. Send it to dubree.douglas@rigov.org. One thing you need to do with those suits is to store them different than the diresctions say to do. Instead of folding the arms in first you fold them over the rolled up suit last. Plus you want to roll the suit up with the zippered side down on the ground still rolling them up from the foot end. By doing these two things it puts less stress on the zipper and doesn't put a sharp crease in the shoulders/arms.

- Last week I had the privilege of traveling to Singapore. I spent a week at their Civil Defense Academy (SCDA) teaching for a private company I work for. SCDA is their fire and EMS training site. We can learn allot from the Singaporeans in firefighting and Haz Mat.
For example take a look at the following;
http://www.ifex3000.de/en/index.htm
Also take a look at the following information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Civil_Defence
We always hear, think outside of the box. But, we may also want to look outside of the USA box to some of our international brother and sisters.
Stay Safe.
