Help international firefighters be heroes.
Just like you.
Give Central Americans and your used fire equipment a second chance at life.
Formerly VESAP for Belize, Belize Heroes ensures that your fire equipment donations – fire trucks, used turnout gears, surplus PPE, firefighting tools – get a new life where they’re most needed.
Belize Heroes isn’t just another international fire relief mission, though.
Your donated fire gear does save more lives. And will continue to.
Why? Because we also ensure training. Continuity. Setting the firefighting heroes of the Belize National Fire Service up for success and self-reliance.
How does Belize Heroes know what’s truly needed? Mac’s a veteran US firefighter… from Belize.
So if you have fire equipment – or money or time — to donate and want it to save more lives, be the hero that you are.

There are seventeen fire stations that cover the entire country of Belize. Two have been closed due to lack of replacement fire apparatus, though.
All these stations are directed by one national (federal) Fire Chief.
They all need a baseline of equipment, vehicles, gears, and training of course. But each region they cover is different – rural, urban, coastal, jungle, etc. So each has its own additional challenges and needs.
