With over 100 years of experience in worker protection and safety product innovation, MSA is known as The Safety Company for a reason and are ideally suited to support the UK’s pre-eminent rescue competition.

Area Commander Sam Burton of West Midlands Fire Service, UKRO Project Executive, said: “We’re hugely excited to have MSA as a key sponsor for UKRO 2022. Aside from friendly competition, the festival is all about improving the skills and safety of rescue professionals, so MSA, with their long history and expertise in providing and developing safety equipment, are an ideal partner.

“We’ve very grateful for their backing as the Festival of Rescue would not be possible without their support. We’re looking forward to working with them to deliver a truly interactive and engaging event.”

Jason Traynor, General Manager of Global Fire Service Products at MSA, said: “Firefighting is a challenging profession, requiring courage and composure in the face of highly dangerous situations. To operate effectively, firefighters must have confidence in themselves, in their crew and in their safety equipment.

“At MSA we pride ourselves on listening to the needs of firefighters on the ground and providing them with innovative solutions and technologies, so that when they arrive at an incident they know we have them covered.

“As a company whose only mission is worker safety, we are incredibly proud to be associated with  such a prestigious event as the UKRO Festival of Rescue - an event regarded as a leader and advocate for firefighter education, safety and camaraderie.”
