| Santa Rosa Fire Department Settles OSHA Case For $300
Roofing contractors and solar installers are expected to wear the gear, but local fire officials questioned whether the laws applied to firefighters, who have high quality training on rooftop safety.

The department has agreed that its fire inspectors will wear the required gear in the years to come, McCormick said. |
