When can the work boots be worn?

• A. Only during training exercises
• B. Dry weather only
• C. Wet conditions only
• D. During all emergencies, even brush (rated to NFPA 1977)

Answer: (D)

Protective footwear rated to NFPA 1977 is designed for the wildland/brush environment as well as structure incidents, so it provides protection across the full range of emergencies. When boots carry this rating, they’re approved for use in brush fires and rough terrain, not just during training or under specific weather. In other words, you wear them for all emergencies because the rating guarantees the appropriate protection for the conditions you’ll encounter, including brush.
