Where firefighters come to talk training

Multi use Helmets

Is anyone using a dual certified (Tech Rescue/Structural Firefighting) helmet for everyday use ? In addition to structural firefighting my department does tech rescue, vehicle extrication and some hazmat. We are looking at purchasing one helmet that would fit all these needs. We have looked at Cairns H-3 Commando and the Bullard USRX. The big concern seems to be using a smaller "rescue" helmet for structural firefighting. We currently use a mix of Leather and Cairns 1010's for fires and a real mix of light wieght rescue helmets for the other.

Looking to see if anyone else has made this switch.

Thanks.
