Airport Operations Gear?

When equipping Airport Operation Specialists with personal protective equipment is it advisable to give them a fire helmet and fire retardant coveralls along with an SCBA for initial Firefighting until the town fire department arrives? The town is okay with our Specialists starting initial fire operations until they arrive. No we do not own a fire truck but we have large capacity skid systems on our ops trucks and some firefighter training. My question is would the gear I listed be adequate or would we need to get full sets of bunker gear?

Always, the more safety equipment - the better, as long a people are trained and capable of carrying out the intended acts.
