Resources in a variety of sectors, including emergency services like firefighting, are becoming scarce as missile strikes continue to cause fires and destruction in Ukraine. Air raid sirens have become daily occurrences in many Ukrainian cities.The ongoing conflict has stretched firefighting resources thin and that many full-time and volunteer firefighters are in need of firefighting gear.
To support the firefighting services in Ukraine, GlobalFire is shipping high need items, including bunker suits, boots, helmets and medic bags, to our local partners for distribution. Firefighting gear is an integral part of the success of any fire department, especially one operating in a conflict zone with heightened fire risk such as Ukraine. Proper protective gear keeps firefighters safe and increases a department's capacity to deal with emergency situations. By increasing the capacity and safety of firefighters in Ukraine, they will be able to serve their communities better and save lives.
