I'm guessing you don't have this in a smaller size?" I ask the day's burn boss. The bright yellow Nomex suit she hands me is laughably large on my 5-foot frame, requiring duct tape around the ankles so I don't trip. While it may not be runway-worthy attire, I'm thankful for the peace of mind the fire-resistant material brings. The rest of the burn crew is dressed similarly, although their clothes actually seem to fit, and they're loaded down with heavy equipment like drip torches and fire rakes.
