Red Line Relay
Equipment Donations & Department Needs
One Department's Spare Is Another's Lifeline
Across Arkansas, fire departments protect their communities with aging equipment and limited budgets. ARFC's Red Line Relay program connects departments in need with fellow departments, businesses, and individuals willing to donate essential resources.
Browse the needs below to see where you can help. If your department has serviceable turnouts, tools, equipment, or even vehicles available, please consider donating. Before discarding, trading in, or sending an item to auction, consider the difference it could make for another Arkansas community.
Financial contributions also help ARFC procure and transport donated resources.
We are one community.

For Departments
Submit a Department Need
ARFC reviews requests before publication. Submission does not guarantee a donation or a delivery timeline. Contact information will be used for coordination and will not be displayed publicly.
For Donors
Donate Equipment
Please describe the condition of offered items accurately, including any known defects. Donation suitability depends on the item's condition, service history, compatibility, and intended use. Acceptance and transportation arrangements must be coordinated with ARFC.
Help Keep the Relay Moving
Even if you do not have equipment to donate, you can help move essential resources to Arkansas departments. Financial contributions support ARFC's efforts to procure resources and coordinate transportation and delivery.
