Next month, members of Langford-Global Medic Ukraine Project will return to Ukraine with close to $75,000 in firefighting and extraction equipment, as well as medical and school supplies
Ukrainian firefighters, medical personnel and schools will soon get much-needed equipment as a local community group prepares to deliver another cargo of humanitarian supplies to the embattled country.
George Klemm of KGC Fire Rescue, a company that sells and services rescue equipment for firefighters. said the goal was to send something that is small and portable — “something they can repair and something that would round out any fire department’s capacity.” Langford Fire Rescue has also taken an interest in helping their colleagues half a world away, donating surplus and lightly used helmets, coveralls, fire-fighting equipment and turn-out gear — the heavy fire-resistant clothing firefighters wear when battling a fire.
WUNDERfund, an acronym for Ukrainian National Defence Emergency Relief fund, was able to secure a $5,000 orthopedic surgical power tool that resembles a cordless portable drill for use by surgeons operating on injured soldiers and civilians.
