Fire-Dex is the fastest-growing manufacturer of PPE for first responders and the world’s largest Independent Service Provider (ISP) of PPE care and maintenance under its subsidiary, Gear Wash. Headquartered in Medina, Ohio, with additional manufacturing locations in Georgia, North Carolina, and Mexico, Fire-Dex is a global company, family-owned and operated, with a mission “to serve those who serve.”

For over 40 years, Fire-Dex’s dedicated team has paved the path of innovation by introducing new products and services focused on the health and safety of first responders. Their product lineup includes turnout gear, alternative PPE, boots, hoods, gloves, helmets, and PPE rentals.

“We have acquired businesses, created opportunities for new talent to join our team, and released top-of-the-line, innovative PPE to help protect firefighters around the world. This has allowed us to grow as a company while furthering our mission to provide lifesaving PPE to our first responders,” said Lauren Burke-DeVere, President of Fire-Dex.

About FXM and FXR Express Lines

Fire-Dex recently announced a game-changing service for fire departments: the new FXR Express and FXM Express lines, offering premium turnout gear shipped in just five to 10 business days. These Express lines provide fire departments with stock options for two of Fire-Dex’s most popular gear lines, ensuring that bunker gear can arrive in under two weeks when needed, giving firefighters fast, reliable access to essential garments.

FXR turnouts are renowned for their superior fit and flexibility. Certified to NFPA 1971, FXR sets a high standard for firefighter protection and is among Fire-Dex’s best-selling turnout options. With FXR Express, firefighters can access the same high-quality, premium gear they expect from FXR turnouts, with a swift delivery timeline that accommodates their busy schedules. Crafted with a TECGEN71 (gold) outer shell, Milliken CoreCXP one-layer thermal liner, and Stedair 4000 moisture barrier, the FXR Express jacket and pant provide the perfect balance of safety and performance.

With Fire-Dex’s FXM turnouts, departments don’t have to choose between elite protection and cost savings. Constructed with an Armor AP (gold) outer shell, Milliken CoreCXP two-layer thermal liner, and GORE RT7100 moisture barrier, customers can order their FXM gear today and be confident it will arrive quickly. FXM bunker gear combines modern design with exceptional functionality, helping firefighters confront any challenge they face. Like FXR, FXM turnouts are also certified to NFPA 1971, ensuring top-tier protection for those on the front lines.
