Fire District 1 selects Delta Fire and Safety for turnout and dual‑purpose gear amid PFAS changes
Summary
Fire District 1’s purchasing committee unanimously recommended awarding a two‑year contract (with renewal options) to Delta Fire and Safety Incorporated for at least 132 sets of structural and dual‑purpose gear; presenter cited draft NFPA 1970 limits on PFAS and said grant funding will offset the dual‑purpose gear cost.
Tammy Culley, representing Fire District 1 and purchasing, recommended accepting the proposal from Delta Fire and Safety Incorporated for structural firefighting turnout gear and dual‑purpose rescue/wildland gear. The committee evaluated proposals against NFPA‑related criteria, wear trial results and cost, and unanimously agreed to accept Delta Fire and Safety’s proposal.
Culley outlined that new draft NFPA 1970 standards would limit PFAS content in PPE and require labeling and testing for PFAS‑free gear; Fire District 1 plans to buy a minimum of 132 sets of structural and dual‑purpose gear. She said grant funding will be used to purchase the dual‑purpose gear to help offset the overall cost.
