MSA的Globe与国家志愿者消防委员会（NVFC）和杜邦保护解决方案（Dupont）合作，将提供52套新的，最先进的选票设备，向13个志愿消防部门，通过2018年的需求Globe Gear Giveaway计划。该计划已进入第七年，致力于提高美国和加拿大小镇消防部门的安全性和能力。全年每月宣布接收者。
The latest recipients are the Ben Lomond (CA) Fire Protection District, the New Victoria (NS, Canada) Fire Department, and the Huntington Volunteer Fire Company (Phillipsburg, NJ).
Ben Lomond (CA) Fire Protection District
The Ben Lomond Fire Protection District (BLFD) is an all-volunteer fire department with one paid chief. BLFD volunteers respond to an average of 500 calls per year involving structure fires, wildland fires, vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, public services, and more. All 35 responders are currently using turnout gear that is nearly 15 years old and not compliant with recommended safety standards. Due to obligations such as station repairs, apparatus replacement, and the need for new self-contained breathing apparatuses, securing new turnouts has been put on hold.
“[This donation of] Globe gear would provide a fresh set of turnouts for our top responding volunteers,” said BLFD Engineer Dan Arndt. “This would not only help ensure our firefighters’ safety, it would also reward our responders for their commitment to the community.”
New Victoria (NS, Canada) Fire Department
新的维多利亚消防局位于新斯科舍省东北部最东北地区的悉尼港口。该部门每年平均有120个电话，为100平方英里以上的约5,000名居民提供服务。部门人员努力培训，以确保他们准备回应。但是，在22名志愿者中，大约有一半必须穿超过10年的齿轮，而不会达到推荐的标准。
副局长安德鲁·佩特里（Andrew Petrie）说：“我们的成员敬业，并为我们的部门感到自豪。”“接受这项装备将对我们的成员带来巨大的士气提升。感谢Globe，Dupont和NVFC提供了这一机会，以帮助我们的响应者安全。”
亨廷顿志愿消防公司（新泽西州菲利普斯堡）
The Huntington Volunteer Fire Company has 27 volunteers who protect 3,800 residents in Phillipsburg, NJ. The company averages 180 calls each year that include fire, accident, traffic control, EMS assistance, and other public services. Its members are very proactive in the community and provide fire and life safety education annually to the local school during Fire Prevention Week in October and host a monthly breakfast to help raise capital for their expenses. Six new firefighters have joined the crew over the last two years, bringing their volunteer responder count to 27. All are equipped with turnouts, but 15 sets are more than 10 years old, forcing the crew to use gear on the front line that doesn’t meet recommended safety standards.
“Responder safety is paramount,” said Chief Leo Pursell. “Any new gear would go a long way in ensuring both new recruits and our veterans feel protected.”
Additional Globe Gear Giveaway awards will be made monthly throughout 2018. Stay tuned to theNVFC web site,Dispatchnewsletter, andFacebook页面以及Globe Facebook page, for additional information and announcements regarding the Globe Gear Giveaway.
