They say the first gas used in Syria was Sarin, so if the first responders knew this was a gas attack by the government they would have figured it was probably sarin and trained on the fact. Also, which first responder group is armed with gas masks (very rare emergencies) and not gloves (considerably more practical in day to day use). Suspicious is all I'm saying. Not definitive proof, just very extremely suspicious.

Ehm... I don't know, all of them? I do know that in the Israeli IDF when there was tension like this, soldiers went around with gas masks on their person at all times, but no gloves and no other special cloths. They were told that in case of chemical attack "put on the masks, and don't touch puddles"
How do you know how well these first responders were educated on gas attacks?
Governments are notorious at misinforming the public when there's not enough money to protect them. See the "duck and cover" thing to protect you from A-bombs in the us. You think whoever controls these responders wouldn't lie to them that gas masks are enough of they can't afford more?

" A person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people"

Yes, but people - first responders - might not know it's sarin or might not know how dangerous sarin is.
They might have gone and helped them bare handed even though it was sarin.
