In Lakeland’s whitepaper, learn how to find turnout gear that offers department administration the cost flexibility they are looking for while still offering firefighters the custom fit, field-tested athletic cut gear they desire on the job.
The Key Problem with Firefighter Turnout Gear
In the United States, there are more than 30,000 fire departments and more than 1.1 million firefighters. Of that number, 31-percent are considered career firefighters while 69-percent are considered volunteers. Rural and volunteer firefighters don’t have large budgets for new gear, in particular, premium turnout gear. With NFPA standards mandating in place stating that turnout gear must be replaced every 10 years (or when the turnout gear is compromised), it is often it can make it difficult for the majority of firefighters across the country to purchase new, premium-quality turnout gear.
Thus, affordable access to premium turnout gear with comfortable, durable, field-tested, strategic and athletic design features is a major problem.
