VIDEO: When you think of a firefighter, you may often think about that classic fire fighter helmet that they wear. But Ohio Township Fire Department realized they were weighing them down, so they made a big change. About two years ago Ohio Township Fire Chief Scott Chapman realized a change needed to be made for his firefighters helmets. “The ceiling fell on one of my firefighters, hitting him on the back of the helmet, on the long part of the brim," Chapman said. "With the chin strap and everything it took his SCBA mask off and cranked his backwards.”
