DONATION OF $50,000 of GEAR

[@paz7059]

I'm a volunteer in the philippines, that's a big thing for us because we don't have enough budget to buy equipment, especially the other brigades here with us. I am happy because the Philippines is the one you chose to help so I thank you

[@smithfirebuff23]

I did not know that the Philippines has volunteer departments out there! Nice!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

The first box of gear has made it to those in need !!!!!

[@TheParamedicCoach]

When I first saw what Mike was doing, I knew I had to be a part of it! Happy to be a part of this and keep going guys.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thank you so much for getting the ball rolling. We pray we can make this happen and finish it up soon. You are appreciated!!

[@TheParamedicCoach]

@@HeroesNextDoor Let's do this!

[@Nick620]

I appreciate yall helping our brothers overseas just want to make sure the plight of our brothers in tiny rural depts here arent forgot about.

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Awesome job of coordinating the donation. You know for sure that the manufacturer’s of the gear are grateful for the NFPA expiration dates … $$$

[@davidlee480]

Sheeeesh, that shipping cost! God bless yall! It's amazing seeing stuff like this especially in times like this. United we stand!

[@markparham3759]

Check Shipper Worldwide they do pallets to containers anywhere. It will not be as quick but it might be cheaper and all donations to one dept or central location for pick at one time.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Where is shipper worldwide out of?

[@markparham3759]

@@HeroesNextDoor they looked like they were US based. But they were just the first search that I did. I’m hoping that it will be cheaper for you. My search was for “how to ship a pallet worldwide” best of luck love the videos.

[@sixstringbestfriend]

Thank you for your donation. You guys aren't just doing a service to that specific agency but also giving a service to the citizens they serve. Great job to everyone that made this happen.

[@davidcolledge7914]

Very nice to do this

[@hsv361]

That's so awesome!

[@alanmoser]

I’d recommend you partner directly with a shipping company instead of going through a mailbox place. They might donate/reduce shipping by going direct and explaining what your doing.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We have tried that. No one wants to partner right now. However we are talking to DHL to try and partner

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Awesome job Mike!! Very cool and generous idea. Big shout out to West Wood for donating all of that!

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thank you for watching and don’t forget to do your part and donate what you can.

[@klarencemedelpacer2617]

Hello Mike! My name is Klarence Medel Pacer of Kankaloo Fire and Rescue of Caloocan City, I am a fire volunteer here in the Philippines as well and I've been in the service for 2 years already and this donation is a big help for us. To Westwood Fire Company, thank you so much for the fireman's gear that you donated to our country. Hopefully I will be receiving one of those fireman's gear because we don't have enough budget as well to purchase, and the t-shirt will be part of my uniform on my weekend shift. Thank you again :)

[@BIGTAYLORNI]

That's a fantastic gesture as they really do need help with equipment, a friend of mine has family there.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We are glade to help. Hope we can get the rest over there soon

[@mooseriddle]

Fantastic gesture by the fire department!! Very informative!

[@camdenplante2800]

Just found your channel. Really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work. I like the station and vehicle tours.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

There will be a lot more of those

[@drewcasner6529]

I'm sure lots of other fire departments will join on board soon! Have you looked into a palletized shipping solution? I bet if the gear is all headed to the same location, this could be cheaper.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Who would we contact for pallet shipping ?

[@drewcasner6529]

@@HeroesNextDoor I would try a household moving company that specializes in international moving. If they don’t do that, they may have contacts that do

I'd like my volunteer dept to help if I can get our old gear that's outdated who would I contact

[@argaming1393]

i need to talk to some fire companies to get some old turnout gear because i have the scba now i just need the helmet boots and turnout gear

[@shaneb3073]

Maybe you could talk to DHL corporate maybe they could help get the rest of that gear over there to the Philippines just a thought

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We have an they are the ones who gave us the 10k price

[@tonyseidita5766]

A pallet load is the best option.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

With who and how would we do that?

You got it 😂😜

[@DHLVFBDragon41s]

Good day, may I suggest LBC Cargo or Atlas Cargo Macho or Jumbo Boxes, they only cost $100.00 per box to ship to the Philippines. Stay safe and we do appreciate your help to our brothers and sisters in the Fire volunteer community here in the Philippines. Keep it Up, Stay Safe and God Bless. :)👍👍👍

[@skyesnow4504]

wow...

[@patricklegare2361]

You should do gear give away to fire Explorers

[@HeroesNextDoor]

That’s a great idea

[@Topgt888]

Can you do one of those mobile command fires trucks or airport fire trucks ? It would be really interesting to watch

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We are working on those

[@jarrythskeen8336]

[@2Fast4Mellow]

Fantastic. Hope more departments will join. Can you setup an account with another fundraising party? Because of the whole Canadian trucker fiasco I boycott GoFundMe...

[@HeroesNextDoor]

What would you recommend? This was our first and easiest attempt.

[@briarboyette7712]

I'd love to help in your efforts. If I were to round up some equipment, would you come to NC to pick it up or if you can help with funding I can ship it?

[@jsuperman7672]

Thats cool. Question ? Has anyone reached out to DHL, FED EX, Or UPS, to see if they could ship it for free if a plane was going over there for other shipments drop offs. In the next few days my department will be ordering about 30 to 35 sets of all new gear, boots ,gloves, hoods, coats, pants.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Yes no one said they would help only give us a commercial account. I even said we would feature them in the video
