What can Firefighters purchase with their clothing allowance ?

Question

what type of clothes can they get, can they only get their uniforms or can they purchase clothes like sweat pants, hats, and shirts and things like that ?

Answer 1

When I was in the military we got a yearly clothing allowance too.  But instead of buying a uniform, most guys were so poor they used the extra money for bills.  That said, I see no reason you can't buy hats, sweats, shirts and things like that.

Answer 2

You have to buy only things that are directly related to your job, and they must be reasonably priced.  Your supervisor must also approve of each purchase.  That supervisor is answerable to any member of the public.

Answer 3

Any item they need. Clothing allowance comes as check, which they cash and spend as needed throughout the year.  It is never enough to cover the total cost.
