On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those lost to overdose, support the families and communities affected, and help raise awareness about prevention.

International Overdose Awareness Day is observed each year on August 31 and serves as a global opportunity to reduce stigma, encourage education, and promote life-saving conversations.

Before your next gear purchase, are you asking the right questions?

Turnout gear decisions go far beyond meeting standards. Departments need to consider mobility, heat management, comfort, fit, durability, and how gear performs in real-world conditions. As highlighted through Los Angeles County Fire Department's evaluation process, the best gear selection starts with understanding what firefighters need on the fireground.

From wear trials to firefighter feedback, asking the right questions can help departments make informed decisions that support safety, performance, and long-term confidence in their PPE.

A new chapter in firefighter safety for Lakeport Fire Protection District

The department recently received 13 sets of structural turnout gear and 14 sets of wildland PPE from Fire-Dex as part of a major investment in protecting its members.

This project was led by Firefighters Nathan Barnett and Shane Kieffer, who dedicated more than 100 combined hours researching, evaluating, designing, and fitting gear to ensure their crews have the protection, comfort, and performance they need on every call.

By prioritizing the latest NFPA-compliant technology designed to help reduce firefighter exposure to PFAS and selecting lighter-weight gear with advanced thermal protection, Lakeport Fire is making a long-term investment in firefighter health and safety.

We're proud to support departments like Lakeport Fire as they continue to put their firefighters first.
