Don't Miss Your Chance to Apply for MSA’s 2020 Globe Gear Giveaway
Time is running out to apply for MSA’s 2020 Globe Gear Giveaway program. Brought to you by MSA, DuPont, and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), the 2020 program will equip 13 volunteer fire departments each with four new sets of state-of-the-art turnout gear and four new helmets to enhance their firefighters’ safety. The deadline to apply is June 1.
Since the program began in 2012, 507 sets of turnout gear have been awarded to 108 departments, for a total of over $1 million worth of life-saving personal protective equipment. MSA donated four helmets to each winning department for the first time in 2019 and will continue to do so in 2020 to help provide full ensemble protection.
To be eligible to apply, departments must be over 50 percent volunteer, serve a population of 25,000 or less, be located in the U.S. or Canada, demonstrate significant need for new gear, and the person applying or the department chief must be a member of the NVFC. MSA will provide complimentary NVFC memberships to the first 500 applicants to help departments meet the membership requirement.
