New fire helmets and bunker gear have been purchased by the Madawaska Valley Fire Department.
That’s according to Fire Chief Corwin Quade, who says the department reviewed four different quotes for the gear. The department managed to stay within budget and purchased 15 new sets of gear, at $1500 a set.
Quade also says the old gear was between 12 and 20 years old, and was long overdue as it no longer met safety standards. The old gear has been disposed of.
