Shamrock Gear can help keep safety tight when budgets are tighter.

Turnout gear purchases can be a costly endeavor for a fire department.  The average set of turnout gear can cost $1500.  At that price, a fire department could afford the maintenance for approximately 15 firefighter ensembles with Shamrock Gear.  Quality certified fire gear cleaning, inspection, and repair allows a fire department to get the most out of their PPE.  Well maintained firefighter gear means safe firefighters.  Maintenance Programs help to keep fire gear in service to the fullest extent of its useful life.
