    Brief

    This is a pre-market engagement opportunity for suppliers and manufacturers to participate in shaping the development of a National Wildland Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Framework for Fire and Rescue Services. The initiative seeks input from industry experts and equipment providers to inform standards, specifications, and best practices for wildland firefighting and rescue operations. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute insights on current PPE technologies, identify gaps in protective equipment, and help establish a comprehensive framework that enhances safety for fire and rescue personnel working in wildland environments. This engagement is designed to ensure the final framework reflects industry capabilities and addresses real-world operational needs.
