Last year, I offered my top ten Christmas Gifts for Firefighters (last years list is here). The article has remained very popular even this year. Just in Time for Black Friday! This year, I am redoing the list for 2010. There are many new gifts out there and I want to make sure that the firefighters are getting what they deserve...The Best Christmas Gifts for Firefighters! This top ten list could be easily used year round. Be it birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever these gifts are bound to make you popular with the firefighter you gift them to. I challenge you to come up with a better list!

I got to wear the boots on numerous EMS calls, MVA's, fire alarms and one fire. In short, I think that I gave these boots plenty of wear for a decent review of use. After all, we don't fight fire day in and day out...unless you are one of these know it all trolls on the message boards!

I am currently doing a review of Black Diamonds X2 Boot. This is a brand new bunker boot that Black Diamond rolled out at FDIC. I actually got my pair just before heading to FDIC and only had the chance to stick them on my feet once before leaving. I will give you my first impression here and some technical data, then follow up with a more detailed review in the next couple of weeks once I get to wear them in good!
