I've seen Rescue & Squad members at Technical Rescue , Car Accident , Fallen Debris Jobs with these red or orange construction helmets that Say whatever company they are from , Are these there own personal helmets ? If not what kind are they ? Seen in this video
BROTHERHOOD Life In The FDNY (Part 4 of 9)


 
Did Not look at video, but most likely PETZL technical rescue helmets. Very commonly used for those types of ops.
 
Not PETZL technical rescue helmets. They are wearing red construction hardhats with FDNY decals in the front. First instances is 11 seconds into video.
 
SOC units have them, much lighter and smaller for non fire operations.
 
All Rescues, Squads, HazMat and Soc Support Ladders have these helmets usually on their second pieces. Helmets are not issued to individual members but at least 6 are given to each second piece and are marked with company number. Not sure if any other special units have them. Use at special operations incidents such as confined space, trench operations or high angle removals plus other as needed jobs.
