Does anybody have an inventory system in place for their PPE? I work in supply for my fire department and am trying to inventory gear for 60 members plus what is in my supply room. I am leaning towards a barcoding system. However, my local tech guy doesn't know how in the world to put barcodes on bunker gear. I am thinking cloth barcodes. If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it greatly! Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea, The only consern would be the price and the probability of damages to the bar code.

Does anyone have any type of  inventory system in place, not just for gear but, truck lists, communications, etc? I was promoted to equipment officer and I am trying to implement a system to track all of our equipment. I would like to know what all is out there, keeping in mind low budgets!!! :).

We use a commercial program called Fire Programs http://www.fireprograms.com/.  It works well for inventory, member information, training tracking, hose and hydrant testing, and NFIRS reporting.
