For all equipment requests please use the form on the equipment page:
Alberta Fire Aid Society provides donated firefighting gear and equipment to not-for-profit departments, municipalities, associations, and First Nations communities across Alberta.
Eligibility & Authorization
All requests must be submitted by individuals with signing authority from their department or organization.
Individuals may also submit requests, but they must obtain approval and a signature from their fire chief or municipality director.
Request Review & Distribution
All donation requests are reviewed by AFA membership prior to approval.
Equipment is generally distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Alberta Fire Aid reserves the right to conduct a needs analysis before distributing equipment to ensure equitable support across departments.
Waiver & Agreement
A signed waiver and recipient agreement is required for each equipment request, regardless of department size or type.
Quantity Guidelines
Requests are limited to 25 sets of gear per department, including combined or individual submissions
Requests exceeding this limit will be reviewed case-by-case and may be approved based on need and availability.
Requests by Individuals
Alberta Fire Aid may consider individual requests under special circumstances.
These will be evaluated based on the intended use of the gear, as determined at the discretion of the Society.
Availability & Wait Times
Alberta Fire Aid is not accepting requests for out-of-stock items at this time.
Due to high demand, wait times for some gear have exceeded 6–12 months, and we are currently unable to maintain a waitlist for these items.
Volunteer-Run Operations
AFA is a 100% volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization. All request handling, packaging, and shipping is managed as volunteer time allows.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get gear into the hands of departments who need it most.
No Sales Policy
Alberta Fire Aid Society does not sell any gear or equipment.
