San Jose officials announced that the city will donate more than $1 million in safety equipment to first responders in Ukraine.
The city plans to send 373 self-contained breathing apparatus air packs, 600 mask-mounted regulators, 183 air cylinders and several hundred self-contained breathing apparatus masks to the relief organizations Nova Ukraine and Firefighter Air Ukraine.
The two organizations will then disperse the equipment to firefighters and first responders across Ukraine as the country continues battling the invading Russian military. "This is a country that critically needs our support and our help," San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said Thursday at a briefing to announce the equipment donation."And I'm grateful that San Jose can play some small role in that effort."
