Mini-Marathon in Firefighting Gear

Have you ever walked 13 miles at one time? Have you done it wearing full firefighting PPE including SCBA? A firefighter from Bloomington, IN, is planning on doing just that (from wane.com).

INDIANAPOLIS A Bloomington firefighter plans to briskly walk the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon on Saturday in full firefighting gear.

Captain Steve Coover says he'll raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association by racing while wearing his helmet, jacket, pants, oxygen tank and breathing mask.

He is going to need a big supply of air tanks. Best of luck, Captain Coover. Hopefully, the day will be cool and your fundraiser is a success.
