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.

Stop, Drop, and Roll Still Works

If your clothing catches fire, do not run. Running fans the flames and makes them worse. Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll back and forth until the fire is out. This technique has saved countless lives since it was first taught in the 1970s.

Close Your Door Before Bed

Keeping your bedroom door closed while you sleep can hold back flames and toxic smoke for several minutes, giving you critical extra time to escape. A closed door can mean the difference between a survivable and unsurvivable room temperature during a house fire.
