Respect 1st Responders: Empowering Communities

---

Respect 1st Responders is a Non-Profit (501c3) organization. Our mission is to provide safety equipment and other resources to 1st Responders, Military personnel and Front Line Workers dealing with Natural Disasters or large scale emergency operations. Our organization has helped thousands across the country and around the world. R1R also collects used or overstock items and donates to less fortunate Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement  agencies. We have access to the equipment but we need help with logistics and general operations. We started a sponsorship program to help our cause.

 Fire Ninja is a Firefighter owned and operated company that gives back to our fellow Brothers and Sisters on the front line. Fire Ninja has been donating equipment to various emergency events since 2012. In 2020, the heroic actions of front-line workers and 1st Responders during the COVID-19 Pandemic, inspired our nonprofit organization R1R.org. (Respect 1st Responders). Fire Ninja donates a portion of its profits and uses its established distributor network to gather safety equipment. The Fire Ninja team also provides many volunteer hours to support R1R. Since its creation, R1R has donated to various 1st  responder efforts across the country and internationally. 

Materials like personal protective equipment, rehabilitation resources, and safety gear are all in high demand during times of crisis. These materials need to be ready to ship when disaster strikes. By supporting the efforts of R1R, we are able to raise funds to pay for the logistics of shipping the goods to the areas being affected. The funds being raised by R1R were going towards building and stocking hurricane disaster kits.  The kits include emergency MRE food supply kits, cooling towels for rehab, personal protective equipment (PPE) and reflective safety equipment, which were donated by R1R’s parent company, Fire Ninja.
