Hmmm, good point. Maybe the problem is you're just getting there to fast. We've found once one of the tires let go, problem solved. No problem that can't be solved with a little pre-planning.
That was one of my concerns, I would really rather not give somebody our gear if its gonna be in a den or a "fire room". Kind of a shame to have to worry bout that kind of stuff, what a world. Thanks for your suggestions.
Nice answer. Aren't car fires just dumpster fires on wheels? The engine wouldnt have a "gun" if we weren't supposed to use it.
This just might be an answer to my problem as well. My dept also has some old turnouts that are in need of a new home. These turnoputs are all over 10 years old. They are made by morning pride and some are gently used, others? what can I say? They...
Great answers from everyone. Now lets all go get a bowl of ice cream, sit in our la-z-boys and take a nap. We'll go out back for a smoke later.

- Hello Patrick, Greetings from the Philippines welcome to FFN. At the thread post Gear to Donate. Our department is very interested to your excess gears. We are fortunate that we have a member, an American firefighter/paramedic Jason McDonald who's folks back home in Hudson, Florida is willing to pay for the rest of shipping box going to the Philippines. We are willing to pay for the costs of shipping from your location to Hudson, Florida. And also provide you a receipt of donations. We are looking forward to hear from you soon. The gears that you will donate will surely protect and keep our firefighters safe to help us get the job done. Thank you and God Bless!
