CFA firefighters can look forward to sporting an upgraded set of their iconic ‘yellows’, following the $10.8 million contract award announcement that will deliver up to 29,000 sets of new generation wildfire Personal Protective Clothing (PPC).
Local Australian manufacturer Stewart and Heaton Clothing will supply the modernised gear to all operational volunteer firefighters across Victoria.
The new PPC is funded as part of the Victorian Government’s $126 million CFA Capability Funding package following fire services reform.
