When I came on the job, I remember I had a pair of those grey turnout pants.

Around 1980 the old UFA Supply Store was selling pairs of Turnout Pants that were a black duck / canvass material.

On the ENG*8 Model is a Brass 5 Gallon Indian Pump water extinguisher worn on your back with straps like a knapsack....AKA a J. O. Pump.

On the ENG*8 Model is a Brass 5 Gallon Indian Pump water extinguisher worn on your back with straps like a knapsack....AKA a J. O. Pump.

Those were very heavy to carry around on your back but were very useful many times for small grass/brush fires. Carried one around many times.
