Our Story
"It all started with a helmet."
I placed my out of service fire helmet for sale on EBAY, and a
a gentleman from Paraguay purchased the helmet. That gentlemen then started to
get more information about who I was and if I was in the fire service. During one
of our conversations, he proceeded to ask if I could ever go to his country to teach
classes. In March of 2020, myself and three other firefighters traveled to
Presidente Franco, Paraguay with 200 lbs. of firefighting equipment to donate. We quickly realized that there was an urgent need for all types of emergency equipment throughout that region. While in Paraguay, we were able to teach 7 different firefighting classes including: ICS, rope rescue, hose advancement, pump operations, RIT,
vehicle extrication and basic firefighting. These classes were taught to firefighters
from Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, a tri-country training.
Fire Departments are currently suffering with economic needs.
In the United States, firefighting gear has a regulated span of only 10 years; before it’s decommissioned and destroyed; while in these third-world countries, emergency responders are risking their lives using thirty to forty-year-old gear and equipment.
With help, and donations, firefighters around the world and their communities will be safer with the help of Worldwide Emergency Equipment & Knowledge. We would like to think that we are giving emergency equipment a second life.
