New Protective Fire Gear donated to Halifax Fire Dept.

August 2, 2018 By Stephanie Spyropoulos

There have been numerous cases in the news in which first responders have been shot at or assaulted during EMS responses during hostile incidents.

Halifax Fire Chief Jason Viveiros announced the fire department has acquired three tactical bulletproof vests and helmets through an anonymous donation.

“While we pray it never happens, it is very important that our firefighters have all the protective gear possible if called to the scene of a hostile incident,” Viveiros said.

“Also included with the ballistic gear are hemorrhage control kits and supplies our paramedics need to stabilize a patient with arterial bleeding or penetrating trauma,” he said.
