Fire Departments need help finding and procuring their equipment just like anyone else. For instance, their vehicles need to carry certain lifesaving equipment. NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus dictates the minimum equipment that needs to be on the vehicles. Although the requirements vary, depending on the type of vehicle, below is a list of items that are pretty universal.
Chances are that your local fire department does not have the time to search the internet to find the right gear to keep them safe. Make time to stop at the fire station on your service route and introduce yourself. Let them know that you have access to top-quality equipment that has been selected by our engineering team to meet their needs. Remember, they need quality equipment to stand up over time to rough use, and you can source it for them. You will save the fire department time, and they will get the high-quality products they need to keep them safe in the field.
