3180 - Hazmat Crew (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3180)

It is always exciting to find things matching Playmobil, here in the UK, and I was quite suprised by this one :) It must be the same equipment for the whole of Europe?
Are they called HAZMAT here in the UK? the paper just said they were firefighters in gas tight suits
Damo :)

HazMat is an abbreviation of Hazardous Materials as that is what the suit protects against. It may be the US use of this term that has taken hold in Europe. The Americans seem to have more influence in creating international terms that us Brits.

Thanks for the real life comparison, Damo :)9! I used to be a HAZMAT team member years ago, before all of the advanced current technology had been applied.
-
Yeah, HazMat is what we call it here. Those suits do look exactly like playmobil. You're just as crazy as I am, Damo, always seeing real life as playmobil! :P
-
if i were you Damo and saw one of the real life hazmat crew I'd pick him up and shout : "Hey Ma! Can I keep him?"
:lol: :lol: :lol: Always great to see real life playmobil!!!

Yes, it seems to be a standard term now.

But remember they have to use English to do it! :lol:
