Gear Repair

[bearhugs81]

I was just wondering if someone could answer a question for me. I'm trying to start up a small business repairing turnout/bunker gear and making specilaized bags for fire/rescue departments. So who would be the best contact within a department for this type of contractual work. Would it be the Fire Chief or is there someone who specifically handles this type of service? I'm just trying to see who should see the advertisement in order to get the best results. Thank you in advance!

For paid departments you should probably contact the supply and logistics officer first to get your foot in the door. You can then tell him what services you are offering and what your rates are.

With a volunteer station, or a combo station, you will probably need to contact the fire chief and present the same information.

In both cases however, have your fees and services in writing. Good luck getting bids.
