Gear to Donate
Brother, and Sisters
The Blandford Fire Department was lucky enough to have the town buys us 12 new sets of gear this year. As we wait its arrival, we are trying to decide hat to do with our older sets. Per NFPA 1851, the gear must be retired next year. Some of it is in rough shape, some has never seen a fire. If anyone is interested in this equipment, please post here and/or email me at blandfordfd@hotmail.com. I have 13 sets that need to go, however, I am not sure if ALL the sets will be available. We may keep a set or two for probationary/junior firefighters. Stay Safe

My name is Jose A. Echavarria was just accepeted as a member of firefighternation. Brief story my father was a firefighter for over 25 years in the Dominican Republic in a town called San Pedro de Macoris which has the very first firehouse in the country builded in 1879.
When I was little I was a member of a fierfighting group of children you are welcome to see it in my page. My father passsed away, but I have always donated to this great group of men over the years and I,m also a member of the civil defence in the same town during the Haiti earthquake i send lots of food. I recently went there and this group of men and the coronel incharge named me Captain and their international Rep.
Please if possible I beg you can we have these items so I can send it to them. Just look at my page there are in need of any type of equipment for firefighting and EMS Civil Defence. May God Bless You.
Sincerely Captain Jose A. Echavarria. Maybe you can guide me to where I can also receive some training to fight fires is my dream to follow my fathers foosteps.

Jose,
I don't know what area you live in, but there are numerous citizens classes through CERT and other community programs with 9 week classes in all aspects, including cribbing techniques, fire fighting, triage, etc.

Hello fellow firefighters. (sorry about the prior post) I am an instructor at a Career & Technology HS. We have some gear that is ten yrs old and must be taken out of service. I would love to donate it to any US FD but we were told that since NFPA does not allow this gear to be used we assume liablility issues. If anyone knows how to avoid the liablity, we can talk. Also, anyone outside of the US that is in need is welcome to apply. Email me at COZY439@comcast.net . What we have is Morning Pride coats and pants that are 10 yrs old with limited wear. Also, the picture on my post is not me ( I have had this question before) it is of a former student/current Navy Seal wearing my station's hat while on a mission) Feel free to email me for more info and answers to Questions.

Good Day,
I’m Stephen Eric P. Chua from the Philippines, me and my group ( 20 persons ). from all walks of life are all volunteer members of our peace & order council in our local community involve in various activities such as, peace keeping, emergency response team ( medical or calamity), and other volunteer works including fire fighting in our local community. We serve as an auxiliary group when needed by our Barangay (Local Community) Captain or Chairman.
As part of it all, we sometimes responded to fire calls without proper gears, such as turnout gears, helmets, hoods, gloves, and fire boots. Our Barangay only had 5 sets of fire fighting gears for their regular members; we sometimes borrow from them in case the need arises. We love and dedicate our free time in volunteer work and serve our fellowmen for free. But the lack of proper fire gears & equipments are sometimes a hindrance to our group in responding to fire & other emergency calls, it’s because the price of such gears & equipments here in the Philippines are too expensive and much high value for the good branded ones, and we ourselves could not afford to purchase it. And being a volunteer here, one should gear himself with the needed gears & equipments individually.
A former classmate of mine from the old high school days, a regular volunteer from the Filipino-Chinese Fire Volunteer Brigade once told me to try and ask for help from like you guys in the US. So here I am hoping that some kind hearted ones could render us help in anyway they could, but not financially as we speak but thru donations of used, 2nd hand/ surplus fire & rescue gears and equipments. It would be a great help to us from you guys out there.
In regarding this matter and in behalf of my group may I respectfully request for your donation or support from your kind hearted ones, used ,2nd hand, or surplus turnout gears, fire helmets, hoods, gloves, fire boots, fire & rescue gears and equipments that are already not in use by your brigades. It would be a great help to us.
I’m hoping for your kind hearted consideration in regarding this matter. Thank you and keep safe. God Bless you all.
Best regards;
Mr. Stephen Eric P. Chua
