Did you know that Lakeland Turnout gear has standard reflective piping down the sleeves and pant legs provided optimal visibility at night? If your department is looking for new gear, it would be my pleasure to come demo Lakeland to you.

Gear Spotlight: The Bullard Lowrider Fire Helmet

We are excited to showcase the Bullard Lowrider traditional fire helmet. Built specifically for firefighters who prefer a classic profile but demand modern ergonomics, the Lowrider features a redesigned ride height that lowers the helmet's center of gravity.

A testament to Vanguard's quality. During a conversation with Chief Justin England of Mullins Fire Department yesterday, he shared an incident where Vanguard gloves protected his hands during a house fire.

“We made entry on a house from the rear and the family had used roll roofing behind the siding. I felt it come down and the gloves got warm they never failed.”

Dinges and Vanguard make the best to protect the everyday needs of a firefighter. Contact me for your next purchase of Vanguard.

It's National Arson Awareness Week - Did you know that youth firesetting motives may result from several factors, including curiosity, experimentation, a cry for help, thrill-seeking, willful intent to cause destruction, and mental or emotional disorders?

Teach children: Fire is dangerous, only adults should use matches and lighters, even small fires can spread quickly, and that fire is a tool not a toy

Make your home safer: Inspect for fire hazards, keep lighters and matches away from children, make sure children are supervised, have working smoke detectors on every level and inside and outside sleeping areas, and plan/practice your home fire escape plan

🔥 Protect Your Gear. Extend Its Life. 🔥

Your Vanguard MK-1 & MK-1 Ultra gloves are built for performance but proper care makes all the difference. 🧤

✔️ Hand wash with mild detergent
✔️ Avoid turnout gear detergents
✔️ Low-heat dry or hang dry
✔️ Preserve leather with a light rub of shaving cream
✔️ Follow manufacturer-recommended care to maintain durability and comfort

Taking a few extra minutes after the job helps ensure your gloves stay strong, flexible, and reliable when it matters most.

📸 Check out the flyer below for full care instructions.
