The Donation Process

Donating Equipment to Alberta Fire Aid

Alberta Fire Aid welcomes equipment donations from corporations and municipalities on an open-ended basis.

To donate, please contact us at albertafireaid@gmail.com or fill out the form here: Donate to Alberta Fire Aid

We understand that the donation process can involve legal, logistical, or procurement complexities. To keep things simple, AFA accepts equipment on a no-questions-asked basis. Once received, each item undergoes a review to determine if it is safe and suitable for continued use in the fire service.

Approved equipment is:

• Cleaned (if needed)

• Inventoried and stored

• Listed in our inventory, which is shared with eligible departments and associations

Departments can then request items they need. Upon approval, a waiver and recipient agreement will be required before the equipment is transferred. Agreements outline the responsibilities of the receiving department, ensuring donated gear is used safely and appropriately.

Whenever possible, we provide feedback to donors on the outcome of their contributions — showing where and how their donation made an impact.

Non-Serviceable Items

Equipment that is deemed unsafe or unusable will be held for responsible disposal or further assessment. Items will not be disposed of, repurposed, or destroyed without the original donor’s consent.
