Established as a salute to the firefighters that serve our country, the Hometown Heroes Gear Dryer Giveaway was open to employees, volunteers or retirees of any fire department within the United States of Canada.

“As a firefighter-owned company, we have a sincere appreciation of preserving the safety of firefighters and those they serve.

“We are very excited to be receiving such a fine gear drying unit and cannot wait to get it into service,” said Redenius, deputy director of public safety – fire chief, Cottage Grove Fire Department. “We currently wash gear after any interior fire response but due to budgeting issues have not had a gear dryer in the past.”
