Line Gear Fire & Rescue Equipment has spent over 20 years supporting the fire service with wildland PPE, gear, and equipment trusted by CAL FIRE, municipal departments, and wildland crews across California. We’re a small, mission-driven team that prides itself on reliability, craftsmanship, and real relationships with the people who protect our communities.

We’re growing in Southern California and looking for someone who knows the fire service — someone ready for a new chapter but who still wants to stay connected to the community.

If you've ever been the go-to person for gear, sizing, new equipment, or helping rookies get set up… you already have the instincts for this job.

Instead of late-night calls, you’ll visit stations, run fittings, and help departments get the PPE they rely on — all while earning strong pay and having control over your schedule.

• Visit stations across San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and South Orange County
• Conduct demos and gear fittings for crews and chiefs
• Build and grow long-term customer relationships
• Work with inside sales to prepare quotes and follow through on orders
• Attend vendor days, regional expos, and fire-service events
• Keep CRM notes updated (we’ll train you)

• Hybrid/Remote
  : work from home or the Line Gear office when not in the field
• 2–3 days/week traveling your territory
• Occasional overnight travel for major events

• Fire-service experience is strongly preferred (municipal, wildland, seasonal, logistics, etc.)
• Or 2+ years outside sales experience in PPE, industrial gear, or public safety
• Clear communicator, organized, and self-directed
• Comfortable building trust with departments and crews
• Valid CA driver’s license and reliable vehicle

• $70,000 base salary (exempt)
• 3–5% commission on gross profit, paid monthly
• OTE: $90,000–$120,000+
• Mileage reimbursement
• PTO and paid holidays
• Company-provided samples and gear

• Territory with active accounts and growth runway
• A company that deeply respects the fire community
• Small, tight-knit team where good work gets noticed
• Your effort directly supports firefighters & wildland crews

If you're coming out of the fire service and want a role where your experience truly matters, we’d love to connect.
