Inspired by the Firelands
Inspired by the historic Firelands — a region established through the sacrifices made during the American Revolutionary War — Firelands Defense and Safety was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: to research, develop, and advance innovative solutions that strengthen the United States’ preparedness for emerging pandemics, biological threats, and public health crises.
Our name reflects both heritage and purpose. We honor the men and women who secured American independence by advancing the principles of resilience, self-reliance, and national strength that helped shape the nation. That legacy continues to guide our commitment to rebuilding and sustaining a domestically based personal protective equipment industry rooted in American manufacturing.
Innovation, Industry, and Independence
Firelands Defense and Safety believes national preparedness depends upon innovation, industrial capability, and supply chain independence. By engineering and manufacturing advanced safety technologies in the United States using American resources whenever possible, we seek to help ensure the nation is never again vulnerable to critical foreign dependencies during times of crisis.
