Custom uniforms are not permitted on scenes where bunkers are needed. Bunker gear is specifically designed to keep the wearer safe, and custom uniforms may not have the protective or visible properties of the bunker gear. LKFD Bunker gear is colored by rank, as per the handbook, and also allows for easy identification of medics, firefighters, officers, and chiefs.
