Flammable untreated firefighter training gear is Structural Firefighting Gear (SFG) manufactured without the use of chemical treatments that create resistance to flammability. Stated differently, the gear is SFG that is flammable in the sense that the resulting clothing is as flammable as the uncoated fabric from which the SFG is manufactured. The majority of a firefighter's day is spent preparing for responses to an incident, rather than actual incident response. In other words, the most significant period of time that a firefighter spends wearing their SFG is not during a dangerous incident response scenario, but rather while taking part in the extensive training and preparation to ensure both mental and physical readiness for incidents. As a result, firefighters are often wearing their SFG when its fire and chemical resistance treatments are unnecessary.
