Protection You Can Count On

For protective clothing and gear for fire fighting, rescue, and emergency medical services (EMS) applications, Maryland Fire Equipment is pleased to offer the very best in garments and gear for total body protection.

Of the lines we carry, one brand, in particular, has been a mainstay in the industry since it was established nearly 115 years ago—Globe Manufacturing Company. From a small New England leather firm that manufactured coats for "druggists, grocers, and gentlemen caring for their horses," Globe quickly evolved to equip firefighters with garments of quality and durability for their most demanding applications.

The industry has changed dramatically from the days of manufacturing garments out of wool, corduroy, and canvas. Through the years, Globe has created quality partnerships with companies such as Southern Mills, 3M, and many others to take the best in raw materials, fabrics, and techniques to build entire "systems of protection" unlike any other.

In today's world, structural fires account for less than 20% of your job. For these reasons, Globe has designed LifeLine's EMS and Technical Rescue gear designed to handle the challenges your team faces on an everyday basis—blood, body fluids, common chemicals, and flash fire, among others. Consider the advantages of this innovative product line, including jackets, parkas, and pants:

• NFPA 1951 and 1999 Compliant
• Provides protection from common chemicals, including battery acid, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, ARFF foam, and others
• Integrates the use of Nomex IIIa® with a durable water repellent finish, Crosstech® EMS Fabric, which provides a lightweight, waterproof barrier for bloodborne pathogens
• Delivers maximum seam strength construction for longer life
• Is available with options such as jacket hoods, fleece liners, and other accessories to customize garments for your specific use
