"We all walked away learning something new from the class."

"We all walked away learning something new from the class. Brian and Dennis worked with the 4 of us that were in the last class on some advanced bailout procedures and how to mitigate various situations. They were very thorough and patient, especially with one of our members who doesn't like heights. You have a great facility and so far, all of the instructors that I have met have been great!"

Deputy Chief Dan Harmuth
Lakeville Fire Company

"I would highly recommend All Hands Fire for not only equipment needs but hands on training as well.."

All Hands Fire Equipment has been a pleasure to work with and is always quick to answer a question or provide technical assistance to the Wichita Fire Department. I would highly recommend All Hands Fire for not only equipment needs but hands on training as well. Great job!"

"The level of confidence our members now have in this environment is due to the outstanding training your team provided."

"I'd like to thank you and your team, for the equipment and training of our Department last year.  Everything you have  provided has proved invaluable over the last two months.  To date, the North Arlington Volunteer Fire Department has deployed on two mutual aid requests (Fairfield and Kearny) for flooding.  And with that equipment and training, we have successfully rescued over 15 people from vehicles and homes in flood waters.  The level of confidence our members now have in this environment is due to the outstanding training your team provided. On behalf of myself and the North Arlington Volunteer Fire Department, I can't thank you enough."

Deputy Chief Mark Zidiak
North Arlington Fire Department - North Arlington, NJ

"The team from All Hands came in organized and professional in every aspect."

"Working with Don and his staff on selection of systems and setting up the training could not have been easier.  Don having trained thousands of men and women in the fire service was extremely professional and knowledgeable on every aspect from the units themselves to the training platform.   All Hands Fire came to our department and put on a 2-day training course on Train-the-Trainer and trained our members to become proficient in the use and training of implementing the bailout systems in an emergency.  The team from All Hands came in organized and professional in every aspect."

Lieutenant Brian LeBlanc
 Leominster Fire Department - Leominster, MA

"Each and every instructor made sure that all firefighters were comfortable with each step before performing the bail out."

"I would like to thank you and your staff for providing End User Training and a Train the Trainer class on the Petzl EXO-AP escape system for the Hillside Fire Department.  Each and every instructor made sure that all firefighters were comfortable with each step before performing the bail out.  They gave each member personalized individual attention, which allowed them to complete the jumps at their own pace.  If anyone had questions or concerns they were addressed immediately.  All members were impressed with the instructors' knowledge and professionalism.  The training that the department received far exceeded our expectations.  We are looking forward to working with you and your staff again in the future."

Captain Ed Trela

Hillside Fire Department - Hillside, NJ 

"The training was well organized and professionally delivered."

"The members of the New London Fire Department would like to thank you and your staff for the Firefighter Escape System training you provided our department in May 2019.  The training was well organized and professionally delivered.  Our department was honored to receive a grant from the Lieutenant Joseph DiBernardo Memorial Foundation which provided funds for the equipment and training.  The New London Fire Department highly recommends All Hands Fire Equipment and Training for the equipment and delivery of this life saving class."

Chief Thomas Curcio

"You have a team of outstanding instructors! Everyone took something away from the training."

"This weekend's training was excellent.  5 stars.  I was fortunate to be there both days, Saturday as a student and Sunday as an observer.  You have a team of outstanding instructors!  Everyone took something away from the training.  Please share with your team and I hope that we can work together again in the future."

Deputy Chief Gerry DiNunzio

"Your organization is without doubt knowledgeable, professional, skilled, and took the time to show even the slowest learner their full attention."

"We here at Fifth Generation Inc. want to commend your training program for the work at heights that occurred at our facility. Your team of extremely talented colleagues were able to deliver a fantastic training course that enlightened us with today’s modern era of rescue at heights. Our staff members were enthralled with the ropes handling section of the course that ultimately led to the building blocks for our emergency response team. Under your watchful eyes, we were able to duplicate real world scenarios in which potential victims were retrieved from various heights. Congratulations on a job well done. Your organization is without doubt knowledgeable, professional, skilled, and took the time to show even the slowest learner their full attention."

"Personally, I would like to thank you for your patience, guidance and professionalism throughout the entire vetting and purchasing process."

"Please accept this letter of gratitude on behalf of the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department, our training division and the men and woman you successfully trained.  Your dedication and knowledge will ensure our members receive the very best in equipment and education.  Personally, I would like to thank you for your patience, guidance and professionalism throughout the entire vetting and purchasing process.  I didn't meet a salesman or a pitch man, I met a brother in the fire service that loves his profession, recommended and delivered the right products for our agency.  Your company and staff have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to continuing our business and friendship for a long time."

Division Chief Robert McGilloway
Coral Springs Parkland Fire Department - Coral Springs, FL


"The training your team provided unquestionably enhanced the knowledge, skills, and abilities of our members, both new and seasoned."

"Thank you and your team for the Firefighter Survival and Advanced SCBA Program training your company recently completed with our Department.  Your instructors, led by Patrick Buckley, were exceptionally professional and well-prepared in delivering every aspect of the program.  Pat maintained consistent communication with my staff and me throughout the process and took the time to explain each module before administering it.  His interpersonal skills are outstanding, and he was a pleasure to work with.

As you know, our profession is inherently dangerous, and the backbone, truly the cornerstone, of any successful Department is training.  Quality training allows us to perform our duties safely, efficiently, and effectively while meeting our incident priorities.  The training your team provided unquestionably enhanced the knowledge, skills, and abilities of our members, both new and seasoned."

Chief David Donnarumma
North Hudson Regional Fire Rescue - West New York, NJ 


"Throughout the classes your staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and the classes went off without any issues or injuries because of that."

"I wanted to take a minute to thank your staff and self for the Petzl EXO refresher end user training and Train-the-Trainer classes provided to the Township of Union.  You have top notch instructors’ who were well versed in the system and took extra time looking over our existing equipment and restringing our units contributing to a successful four day class with over 100 members doing their slides.  You assisted in saving us money with the recommendation of restringing and also coordinated the prop to rent the mobile bailout trailer to facilitate 3 members doing their slides at the same time with our existing window.  Throughout the classes your staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and the classes went off without any issues or injuries because of that.  I would not hesitate to recommend All Hands Fire to any department in need of specialized training."

Chief Gregory Ricciardi
Union Township Fire Department - Union, NJ  


"They've taken a considerable amount of time and effort to customize their training programs to the
specifics of our agency."

"All Hands Fire has been an excellent partner to work with.  Their staff are extremely knowledgeable and provide excellent training to our personnel.  We have relied on their input and advice for operational and purchasing decisions and to set priorities and objectives.  They've taken a considerable amount of time and effort to customize their training programs to the specifics of our agency.  Further, they are very accommodating in scheduling which allows us to train all career personnel while they are on-duty, without incurring overtime.

One of our members had been involved in an incident while training on the bailout systems before we utilized All Hands Fire.  As a result, we made the decision to use them for all training related to the bailout system.  Donald Colarusso personally came to oversee the training for all personnel, and to ensure that the firefighter who was involved in the incident received the best possible attention and care.  He's frequently gone above and beyond our expectations to ensure that we receive outstanding services.  As a small department without a large training division, All Hands Fire has allowed us to offer robust, extensive training which we would not have been able to do in-house.  We would proudly recommend their services to any emergency services agency!"
