Fire management resources — EQUIPMENT

Before purchasing equipment, consider three other possible sources:

  1. Obtaining surplus equipment from state or federal fire control agencies or local fire department.
  2. Developing a cooperative agreement with your state fire control agency, which can then order you equipment at much reduced cost through the GSA catalogue.
  3. Obtaining equipment on loan from state or federal agencies.

Following is a list of companies that supply various types of fire management equipment. Below that is a list of specific equipment items along with the suppliers (by number) that stock these items. This is not a blanket recommendation of each company. You should research your purchases carefully.
