Turnout gear is taken out of service if it is damaged in such a way that will compromise it's protective abilities. Some departments may also replace turnout gear that does not meet current NFPA standards.
Firefighter turnout gear may be taken out of service due to various reasons, including damage such as tears, cuts, or rips that compromise its integrity, exposure to heat or chemicals that can degrade the material, excessive wear and tear, or expiration of its recommended lifespan. Additionally, if the gear fails to meet safety standards or regulatory requirements, it may be deemed unfit for use and taken out of service.

The term "turn out gear" is used to identify the basic protective clothing a firefighter puts on before going into a hazardous environment, usually a fire situation. There are other terms for this basic protective equipment, such as: "bunker gear" or "quick hitch", which implies a fast or rapid way to put this clothing on when responding to an emergency at any hour of the day or night. The basic components of "turn out gear" are usually: the rubber steel toe boots, the fire resistant pants, fire resistant coat, fire resistant gloves, fire resistant nomex head hood, and helmet.

Uniforms are different by region and department. Also, a few other factors can affect this. Turnout gear is the gear that is worn for personal protection at the scenes of calls.
The protective clothing a firefighter wears is called turnout gear (or bunker gear). Firefighters are said to "turn out" for a fire so that they can suppress it, and this dates back to the early days of the so-called modern era of firefighting. Early firefighters were designated and compensated to fight fires, but did not reside at the station. Instead, they'd "turn out" all dressed up in their "turnout gear" and ready to go. It is probable that the origin of the term "turnout gear" or just "turnouts" lies in that idea.

A fireman's.Also referred to as "Bunker Gear", this is the usual protective clothing worn by a FIREFIGHTER when fighting structural (building) fires, or performing rescues. Turnouts are so named because when not in use, they are kept ready to don quickly by 'turning out' the pants over the boots. This way, the firefighter simply steps into the boots and pulls the pants up. Firefighters are typically expected to be able to don all of their equipment is about one minute. The heavily insulated turnouts can be uncomfortably hot to wear, but keep the extreme temperatures of a fire away from the firefighter's body. Structural turnouts will fail at approximately 1200°F (650°C).Turnouts consist of a coat, pants and suspenders, leather or rubber waterproof boots, a hood, a strong helmet with eye protection, gloves, a belt, and SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus). When fully dressed, a firefighter will be wearing about 70lbs (32kg) of gear, not including any additional tools being carried.http://www.sccfd.org/clothing_turnouts.h…
