Posted by: Hayley Tincu | June 15,2024 As new textile and material technologies become available to manufacturers of structural firefighting gear, LION strives to remain at the cutting edge of bringing the newest innovations to the market. We’d like to provide an update on some important facts regarding the array of materials we use in our turnout gear, specifically concerning PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which has been an ongoing topic of interest, as well as point out areas of consideration for fire departments considering evaluating these new technologies and materials for their firefighters. We encourage interested fire departments to wear-test all new products before purchase to evaluate breathability, durability, and other performance criteria required by each department’s risk assessment.

This standard outlines comprehensive requirements for the selection, inspection, cleaning, repair, maintenance, and eventual disposition of structural and proximity firefighting PPE. Additionally, it mandates the necessary documentation and record-keeping to support these activities, ensuring that gear remains fit for use and reducing risks to firefighters.

Why We do what we do by Andy Schwartz, Co-owner, Corporate Counsel, and Chief Procurement Officer People. In a word, that’s the focus of all our work here at LION. People are why we do what we do, why we love what we do, and why we’ve endured as a family-owned business for generations. We create industry-leading turnout gear, uniforms, training equipment, and care and maintenance programs so firefighters and other first responders are as prepared as possible and ready to do their jobs every day. But our focus on people extends beyond our products and services. These past few months, the LION team has flown across the country to meet first responders, advocate for firefighters, honor the memory of the fallen, and pay tribute to our law enforcement officers. Here’s what we’ve done:
