Why safety gear for hard working women?
After spending 20+ years in the construction industry, I became a safety manager for an environmenta / construction company. Once involved in safety, I saw that local distributors only stocked a fraction of products available; the “staples”. Local distributors cannot inventory products that don’t move quickly or it is like money sitting on a shelf indefinitely. As a result, working women were really having a hard time accessing safety equipment that fit. I knew manufacturers were making equipment, but it was not accessible to those who needed it most!

The High Point Fire Department is proud to announce we are hosting the Pink Heals Tour – Guardians of the Ribbon on September 11, 2010. The Tour consists of 5 PINK Fire Trucks and firefighters wearing pink turn out gear that tour the country (10,000 miles, 18 states, 48 cities) raising awareness and funding for Cancer Charities. The ONLY stop in North Carolina this year, will be in High Point, on September 11. We have a full day of festivities planned, including a parade, a September 11 memorial, and time for Cancer survivors or families of cancer patients to sign the trucks. Following the Tour, the High Point HOG Chapter – Ladies of Harley are sponsoring a Motorcycle Ride to escort these five pink fire trucks from High Point, to the South Carolina State Line.
We would love for ever department in North Carolina to be represented. They have never been escorted by bikes before and are really looking forward to this! Please do join us!
