While fire isn't as commen as in days gone by; it is still there. I cringe everytime I see a driver with a t-shirt instead of a fireproof shirt. I even cringe when I see the short sleeve fire proof shirts and shorts.

To last five minutes in a fire of that size, I have to believe he had ample fire protection, I just wish he would have kept his helmet on. Best wishes to he and his family.
Am I the only one (obviously not) who thinks it is counter-productive to have short-sleeved fire-retardant underwear???
Seems to me it is about as good an idea as a screen door on a submarine...just because you can does not mean you should!
