Rookie fire guy using a stick.
Pro tip: Get leather work gloves. Take your fire guy skills to the next level.
The leather doesn’t get ruined?
Leather can take quite a bit of heat. I wouldn't leave it laying in the flames, nor would I hold anything for too long because eventually the heat does get through. But if you just wanna shift a log or something, it gives you more control than a stick.
Even better are some welding gloves. That way you’re protected up to your elbows. I can grab a burning log with mine.
Always wear gloves!
Legendary fire guys don't use gloves. They have built years and years of scars, burns, and callouses on their hands. To the legends, they don't feel the heat from a burning log.
