No beards on fire!

Beards may be in fashion, but in the fire they are too dangerous.

Dittmar said that for example, oxygen masks do not work well with beards. Firemen have a beard which would have to shave off for security reasons, said the fire inspector Thursday in the regional media. According to her, are already dead cases, because a beard impeded the operation of the oxygen mask.

'It must be important for the firefighter that he does his job properly, what he looks like,' Dittmar argued. They do not need new rules to set up because, according to the spokesman for the fire service association in Hesse there is already a rule that beards are not permitted on the carriers of oxygen masks. He was not the big problem revealed in the fire now.
