Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to propose the MSA G1 SCBAs. The features
and benefits of the MSA G1 SCBA, along with its best in class warranty and very low
cost of ownership, have made it the choice for more and more fire departments
throughout the country.
Sandry Fire Supply will work with the City of Waterloo to provide all the required
paperwork and documentation required for this purchase. We provide on -site fit testing
using an OHD machine and can provide the fit test reports. Sandry Fire Supply also
offers on -site annual flow testing for service of your SCBA.
Sandry Fire Supply will provide on -site SCBA use and care training to the members of
the City of Waterloo at time of delivery, meeting or training night. This can be finalized
as we work through the purchase process.
We look forward to working with the City of Waterloo on this project. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call.
Respectfully,
