Some of the changes that we will discuss are, The phone booth on the rigs, rubber coats, 3/4 boots, no gloves, riding the back step, steel cylinders, the pompier ladder and aluminum ladders. These are just a glimpse of the changes that we will dive into, as we have many other topics on the agenda to talk about.
