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.
