The purpose of trim on turnouts, helmets and other gear is to provide day/night visibility and quickly ID the firefighters by trim alone or with the visibility of lettering/numerals. While this may seem self-evident, the importance of a turnout’s trim cannot be stressed enough.
It is especially critical where visibility is minimal and confusion is maximum with large numbers of personnel from several departments on the fireground.
