It started in 1996 at a Metro Atlanta, GA fire department. Two guys began fire recruit school together and would go on to share over 20 years of service many times in the same battalion and shift. Then one day, these two guys came up with a simple plan: transform the fire department product community by making rugged products to survive the fire and EMS service while helping first responders save lives, stabilize incidents and protect property. This simple plan would lead to complex product development, testing, and sourcing of products worldwide. To this day, we only provide products we believe in, and we continually develop new products and improve current products so they work better, last longer, and help you get the job done. Because of this commitment to creating products for us and by us, Fire & EMS, LLC. is on track to become one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry. We are also a family of current and retired firefighters who work hard to ensure you have the tools you need to get the job done when lives are on the line.
Meet Jake

Jake quickly rose through the ranks making Lieutenant and then Captain. He spent several years as Captain of the training division overseeing eight recruit schools in 2 years. He holds multiple NPQ certifications and Blue Card certifications. He is the former head of Camp Puzzle, one day camp for individuals on the spectrum, and has chaired numerous committees during his career.

He has also taught Fire Fighter I and II on the college level at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.
Meet Chris
Chris joined the fire service in 1996. Over the years, Chris was promoted through the ranks from firefighter until he retired early in 2018 at the rank of Captain. Chris served on the Hazardous Materials team for almost a decade and holds the certification of hazmat specialist in radiological, biological, and nerve agent response. Chris obtained his paramedic license just before his promotion to Lieutenant. Chris served as a training officer in the training division for two years and then served on the med-ops team as a tactical medic with the SWAT team just before his promotion to Captain. Chris resigned/retired early from the fire service in 2018 with 21 years of service after a close friend experienced a medical-related line of duty death while Chris was the acting battalion chief.
