Background:
This increase will allow the Department to order bunker gear prior to anticipated pricing increases in October 2022. In addition, the estimated delivery time for products is ten (10) months from order which is causing a tremendous strain on Fire Rescue having adequate gear for employees.
The Department of Fire Rescue purchases bunker gear to be compliant with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements.
