Firefighters spend as much time at the station as on calls, so the best gear covers shift comfort, cooking and staying fit. For gifts, think firehouse kitchen and long overnight shifts.

About our picks: These picks are for station life and off-duty days: the duffel, insulated bottle and power bank for a 24-hour shift, the boots and gloves for chores and training. They do not replace certified turnout or protective gear.
