Gear With A Past-Gallo En Fuego Review

OUR STORY

Carry the gear with a history forged in fire.

The Inspiration

Gallo En Fuego (guy-o en fway-go) means "Rooster on Fire" in Spanish. Each of our products is designed by 2 Red Hens Studio designer Lori Holliday. Inspired by her husband, a firefighter for fifteen years, Lori wanted to honor him and his fellow heroes, who put their own lives on the line every single day.

The Material

We’re proud to source most of our hoses from New York City. There, after years on the battle-lines, even the toughest fire hoses have to retire from the field. That’s when we get them. And their history shows: many carry distinctive marks from the fire ground.

At our custom workshop we clean the hoses, all the while keeping their individual character intact. Then both the inner rubber lining and the tough woven exterior become the raw materials we use to hand-craft our Gallo en Fuego wallets, belts, and other products.

The Cause

Gallo en Fuego salutes our heroes, America’s Firefighters. We’re honored to partner with National Fallen Firefighters Association in their mission to remember America’s fallen fire heroes and assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives. From every sale we donate a portion of our proceeds to help the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Models

Every man you see on our site is an active-duty firefighter; some are also paramedics. And they all save lives for a living. They don’t need to be professional models to look good in Gallo en Fuego gear, and neither do you. To see more of them, browse our online look book.


I loved the idea of this site and the cause it stood for! Without firefighters and EMT's where would we have been during 9/11? Those men and women work hard to make sure that we are safe. They put their lives on the line each time they go out! Fire hoses are an important part of their job. This company has a great way of retiring those hoses and putting them to good use. Why carry around any old wallet or wear any old belt, when you can wear one that has helped save lives. Wear something with meaning, with character and definitely something with style.



The Gallo En Fuego iPad cover is constructed from genuine decommissioned fire hoses. Fire hoses' renowned strength and durability stems from their unique construction, which uses a double-jacket outer fabric layer made from polyester to protect its rubber liner. The heavy-duty, durable design features a flip stand, an elastic band to secure the case; plus this smart cover automatically wakes the iPad when opened and it to sleep when closed. Use it proudly knowing it once saved a life.

My son proudly wore his Gallo en Fuego t-shirt! My sister is an EMT and works very closely with her towns fire fighters. This is not an easy job. We proudly support these excellent teams! I am glad that we got to test this shirt. It was a nice heavy material. I was glad for that as my son is 5 and is very hard on his clothes. This shirt has withstood his test! When testing shirts I like to pull on the material near the seams and check to make sure they stay together. I am happy to say that this shirts seam didn't budge. They have done a great job putting these together. You will not be disappointed!



Our incredibly comfortable, super soft tees have a broken-in appearance to look and feel like a well-worn favorite. Honor the men and women of the fire service, or the everyday hero in your life, with a Gallo En Fuego shirt.
