About Us
"The rules are never more important than the mission."
-Lt. Gregory Turnell, DCFD (ret.)
The mission of Vulka Fire Equipment is to enable more effective, more efficient, and more innovative fire service training and operations.
Our training systems are more than just props - they're dynamic tools for sharpening the necessary skills to save lives and property, while solving problems and shortcomings presented by traditional props.
Invest in your men and women so they can perform when seconds count.
Our Founder
Vulka Fire Equipment was founded on the principal that you cannot train enough for a job that can kill you.
​
Our founder, Josh, is a 17 year fire service veteran, and a registered professional engineer. He has experience on the career and volunteer side of the fire service, serving in various departments in the Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C. areas. Josh has served in every position from probationer to lieutenant, including as a training officer. Combining his fire service experience, engineering background, and training mindset, he founded Vulka in 2023 with a vision for better and more functional training equipment.
​
The name "Vulka" is a modern tribute to the ancient Roman god of fire and the forge - Vulcan. There couldn't be a more fitting name for a company whose mission it is to forge better firemen through more innovative training and products.
