Had a friend ask me the other day, we could he find the green protective gear that media personnel wear at a fireground?
I had a quick look for him but couldn't find much.
Any suggestions?

The media I've seen up here are in Green overalls. I guess its to easily distinguish them from rural firefighters.

Hard Yakka probably has the contract or something and they get them custom made.

Why does he want them anyways?
Is he aware that if he's needing to wear turnout gear, he'll also need to have wildfire training.
Hell, I was told that I'd need to get the wildfire training done so I can refuel DSE aircraft during the fire season.
I can tell you I won't be going anywhere where I'd need it with 20,000lt of jet fuel in my truck!!! Luckily I already have training that exceeds the "wildfire awareness" training as I believe they call it.

Who needs to 'protect' the Media? 
They should supply and finance their own clothing or hats...... because:
1. They have enough money of their own :pr :pr :pr
2. Public authorities like Emergency Services which include all Fire Brigades are funded by the TAXPAYER, so any elected authority who grants payment of my tax dollar to go to a media source to stop their asses being scorched I'd like to know about it. HELLO?
Do we have the cops buying protective clothing for media at riots? I don't think so.
