Introducing Ashley O'Neil and AshFireWear, located in Windermere, British Columbia of the East Kootenay region, ɁamakɁis Ktunaxa.

Ashley O'Neil aka "Smashing Ash," a well-earned nickname due to Ashley "smashing the ash" while wearing a smile on her face in search of remaining embers to put out in wildfires, is a provider of female firefighting clothing, but not limited to her, as Ashley also has a male clothing line available, too.

Having worked as a firefighter and firefighting trainer, Ashley noticed the lack of female protective clothing available and used this opportunity to become a provider.

With an understanding of the standards required to produce firefighting clothing, she grabbed her materials, a needle, some thread and worked the sewing machine and so AshFireWear was born.

What is AshFireWear?

AshFireWear is a business that provides bio-degradable, protective clothing to firefighters and other workers.

The equipment covers the NFP standards of 1977 CGSB 155.22 and NFPA 21 12, (say that about ten times!)

Ashley let us know the shirts, pants and coveralls can be used by "Wildland Firefighters," "Urban Interfacing Firefighters," "Welders," "Miners," "Oil Field Workers," and "Hydro Workers."
