Security & Fire Equipment Fire Program

GSA is a "Partner in Wildfire Protection." GSA has actively participated and supported the national wildfire suppression effort since the 1950's.

GSA furnishes wildfire protection equipment and supplies to federal agencies as well as to U.S. Forest Service cooperating agencies through formal agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management. GSA is committed to assist in program implementation whenever possible and its objectives are to facilitate advance procurement, assist in the standardization of wildfire equipment and supplies, effect savings through consolidated purchasing, and provide for the direct distribution of items to field units.

GSA currently stocks approximately 229 items managed under the fire program. These include water handling equipment and supplies, fire line tools, fire shelters, protective clothing, canteens, field packs, sleeping bags, batteries, chainsaw chaps, first aid kits, goggles and safety glasses, gloves, and tents. The majority of these items are covered by very rigid Forest Service specifications.

As a convenience to customers, GSA publishes the Wildland Fire Equipment catalog. It is published annually and contains descriptions and ordering data for wildfire protection equipment and supplies stocked and managed by GSA Global Supply. Items are indexed by name and numerically by National Stock Number (NSN) and National Fire Equipment System (NFES) number. To obtain a copy of this catalog, please call our GSA Centralized Mailing List Service at telephone number (817) 334-5215. Please reference publication number OFSS-0007. Those wishing to receive the catalog on a continuing basis, should asked to be placed on the automatic mailing list.

GSA Global Supply has a Fire Program Coordinator.  The Fire Program Coordinator is responsible for the overall operation of supply support and liaison duties for the wildland firefighting agencies.  Consult this web site for future news and changes affecting the fire program. As new items are added to the program or changes made which affect the customer, the information will be disseminated via this web site.
