Today is International Firefighter's Day The role of a firefighter in today’s society be it urban, rural, natural environment, volunteer, career, industrial,... defense force, aviation, motor sport, or other is one of dedication, commitment and sacrifice no matter what country we reside and work in. In the fire service we fight together against one common enemy fire no matter what country we come from, what uniform we wear or what language we speak. Lt JJ Edmondson, 1999 Firefighters dedicate their lives to the protection of life and property. Sometimes that dedication is in the form of countless hours volunteered over many years, in others it is many selfless years working in the industry. In all cases it risks the ultimate sacrifice of a firefighter’s life. International Firefighters’ Day (IFFD) is a time where the world’s community can recognize and honor the sacrifices that firefighters make to ensure that their communities and environment are as safe as possible. It is also a day in which current and past firefighters can be thanked for their contributions. Thank you to all Firefighter's who serve to protect our lives and property.

We constantly look at the outside of gloves to evaluate them, but the inside can be a game changer! The inside Kevlar layer of the Vanguard Safety Wear Hybrid Structural Gloves have a slick finish to make donning and doffing smooth. Contact us to get your MK-1 or MK-1 ULTRA!!

Wash Care Reminder MK-1 / MK-1 ULTRA Structural Gloves: Though Hand Wash is recommended, if you use the gear extractor DO NOT use turnout gear detergent. Even ...if detergent says PH Neutral the chemical content will dry out the natural oils in the leather on any brand of gloves which reduces suppleness and longevity. Use Tide liquid or dish wash liquid and a little Barbasol Shave Cream on the leather portion after the glove is dry which will help preserve the leather. See more
