This is about welding on a truck. Wire is what gets fed out of a MIG welder. The wire becomes molten as an electric arc (spark gap) is formed, instantly melting the wire and metal pieces you are trying to combine with the welding process.
And, if you are under the parts you are welding, you often get spatter which fails on you. Hence wearing welding jackets.
A lot of people don't weld with jackets because it can be tiring, uncomfortable, and constricting. If you choose not to wear protection, you will not only be spattered, but you will get sunburned.
Sounds like the Breeder who wrote this got to have some fun working on a truck.

Maybe it's just a fun memory.
