Our New Firefighter Turnout Gear Aprons
The whole point of the US fire truck food truck, is that its, well, a fire truck. So most of what we have done with it has been aimed at theming around it being a firetruck.
When we officially launch it we will have some nice touches that match up with the theme. One of these will be our new work aprons. They are actually made form used fire fighter turn out gear. If you don’t know turn out gear is a term for the safety outfits they wear when attending a fire, or ‘turn out.’
We happened upon a Dutch based company, Remade Industries, that takes used fire equipment and repurposes it into things such as bags, oven mittens etc. And aprons. These are all unique, as they are made from different outfits cut in different ways, but they suit our theme to a T. Also being made from turn out gear, they are fire proof and tough.
These are fabulous quality, and tick the environmental box as they are re using equipment. Oh, and we like the idea of them all having a history, like being used in real fires.
