Cost to Outfit a Firefighter

The High Cost of Firefighting Equipment

Many do not realize how much it costs to equip a volunteer fireman - not to mention the general cost of NFPA certified training, equipment, and vehicles. Our firefighters need this specialized equipment to respond to emergencies in our community. Just simply the gear that a firefighter must wear to protect themselves and their lungs while fighting fires is depicted here is very expensive. The equipment purchase price is just one part of the firefighting equipment cost. Equipment needs to be maintained. If it's not working, firefighters can't effectively protect you or themselves.

Total Cost Per Firefighter

$11,050.00

This does not include training, vehicles, or ongoing maintenance costs.

Two Ways Out of Every Room
Every family member should know at least two ways out of every room in the house in case one exit is blocked by fire. Practice your home escape plan at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including children. Pick a meeting spot outside — like a mailbox or tree — so everyone can be accounted for.
Space Heaters Need Space
Space heaters are involved in roughly one-third of all home heating fires. Keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn — furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing. Always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
