Firefighters' Gear Racks:

Located throughout the building, the firefighters' gear racks offer a small bit of personal space within the firehouse for each member.  While all firefighters are issued identical sets of protective gear, as you can see, small differences make each set personalized.  Firefighters are free to configure their protective gear on these racks however they see fit to make sure they can get "geared up" as quickly and efficiently as possible.
