Donating Fire Equipment & Training Supplies

We ship fire equipment to areas we are working in Africa.   We accept personal protective equipment in clean and serviceable condition. We seek to serve our fellow firefighters with this equipment.  Please consider the firefighters you will be impacting when making your donation of clean and serviceable equipment. Please see our specifications below regarding accepted equipment. We will decline items that do not meet our standards.  Please complete the form below and we will be in touch as soon as possible.  

Receiving Equipment:

  • Please make arrangements with AFM to ship* or bring approved items to our storage facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. We do not have regular hours at our location. We will arrange for one of our volunteers to meet you at the storage facility to receive the equipment. (*If shipping a large amount of equipment, please notify the shipping company that we do not have a loading dock or fork lift on site. Large loads will need to be delivered on a truck with a lift gate).

  • We ask that personal protective equipment be cleaned prior to donation and be in serviceable condition. We request that boots and gloves be cleaned and matched prior to donation.
