Yes they do. Water resistant and Class 1, Div. 1 certified and whatnot. Ordered a smaller one with a flexible lead on it that I'll use when I have to fill out reports at night (probies always get to do the reports...).

Basically, if you walk into a building with a methane leak, you don't have to worry about your flashlight making the building go boom.

So alkaline then. Thats good. They aren't as nasty when they get hot as lithiums do.

Thats true. They have some nice ones that have car adapters as well, but probably wont suit your needs in a burning building.

I won't be going into any burning buildings for a while...gotta have Firefighter 1 first. We have rechargable right-angle lights mounted on the new pumper that will really cut through smoke, though.
