Jamaica Fire Brigade receives helmets donation from Rosenbauer America following Hurricane Melissa

Helmets donation to support Jamaica Fire Brigade

Rosenbauer America has donated 99 HEROS Titan Pro firefighting helmets and maintenance parts to the Jamaica Fire Brigade following Hurricane Melissa in late 2025.

Rosenbauer America confirmed the donation, valued at $61,647 USD, was provided in response to a request coordinated by National Safety LTD, its authorised dealer in Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica in late October 2025 as a severe storm and caused widespread damage across communities, placing pressure on emergency response resources.

National Safety LTD led outreach to industry partners in the weeks after the storm to secure equipment support aimed at restoring operational readiness for firefighters across the island.

Equipment details and response from organisations

The helmets supplied are Rosenbauer HEROS Titan Pro models and are accompanied by maintenance parts intended to support continued use during recovery and routine operations.

The Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) is expected to use the equipment to maintain frontline response capability while recovery work continues.

National Safety LTD stated: “On behalf of the Commissioner, we extend the Jamaica Fire Brigade’s sincere appreciation for this timely and impactful donation.

“These helmets will meaningfully support the men and women who continue to serve communities despite resource challenges.

“This contribution will enhance the Brigade’s firefighting and rescue capabilities, and the JFB is grateful to Rosenbauer America for its support.”

Joe Caughey, Director of Firefighting and Body Components for Rosenbauer America, said: “Supporting firefighters—wherever they serve—is fundamental to who we are.

“We are honored to contribute equipment that will help strengthen safety and readiness for the Jamaica Fire Brigade as their communities rebuild.”

Rosenbauer America has previously supported the Jamaica Fire Brigade, including supplying 30 fire apparatus in 2021 from its Wyoming, Minnesota campus.
