Departments in NJ and NS to receive four new sets of turnout gear and four new helmets each
MSA Safety, DuPont Personal Protection, and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) have teamed up once again to help volunteer fire departments obtain much-needed personal protective equipment through MSA and DuPont’s Globe Gear Giveaway. This annual program began in 2012 and has to date provided 611 sets of turnout gear to 134 departments. This year, another 13 departments will each receive four new sets of turnout gear and four new helmets to help enhance the safety of their firefighters. The first 500 applicants also received a one-yearNVFC membership，，，，courtesy of MSA.
MSA和杜邦（MSA）和杜邦（Dupont）2022 Globe Geveaway的前两个接收者是Riverdale（NJ）志愿者消防局和Springhill（加拿大NS，加拿大）志愿消防局。
Riverdale Volunteer Fire Department
The Riverdale Volunteer Fire Department (RFD) is an all-volunteer department located in northern New Jersey. The 33 volunteers serve a population of approximately 5,000 over 2.1 square miles and respond to an average of 200 calls annually.
RFD的服务区域包含州际公路和主要州高速公路的一部分，以及大型商店以及公寓和公寓楼。他们最后能够在10年前为消防员提供新装备的援助，但这些装备现在不再符合NFPA。此外，他们还有新成员不适合当前装备的尺寸。他们的大部分预算都涉及其他必需品，该部门每年都在努力购买一两个新装备。
“Finding funding to purchase new turnout gear is very difficult with all the requirements on fire departments nowadays,” said assistant chief Patrick Cleary. “Having new gear would improve morale and increase the safety of firefighters in our department.”
Springhill Volunteer Fire Department
Springhill志愿消防局（SVFD）位于新斯科舍省农村地区，是一个全志愿部门，有35名成员。SVFD在185平方英里的大约5,500平方英里的人口中为每年平均154个电话做出反应。
连续开采灾害而遭到严重破坏1950s and a fire in the 1960s that destroyed most of the downtown, Springhill has only recently begun to recover. The SVFD is an important part of that recovery, doing whatever it can to assist their community and serving as a beacon of light through trying times. Their dedicated firefighters respond to chimney fires, structure fires, and wildland fires, among other emergencies, as well as conduct aggressive fire prevention campaigns. During the pandemic, the volunteers stepped up to deliver groceries to those who could not or did not want to go out.
不幸的是，该部门超过80％的装备已有10多年的历史。尽管社区竭尽所能为部门提供支持，但SVFD根本没有为所有成员购买新装备的资金。
“Training and responding to calls are done with safety as the first priority, and the job still gets done. To be awarded four sets of turnout gear would be a real boost to the department’s morale and [our firefighters’] sense of pride and accomplishment,” said firefighter Chris Mayne. He added that in addition, “This recognition would be an added sense of pride in the community for their fire department.”
额外的奖项将在整个2022年每月每月颁发。请继续关注NVFC网站，，，，派遣newsletter，，，，andFacebookandTwitterpages, as well as theGlobe Facebook page，，，，for additional information and announcements.
