About Oxgut Hose Co.®
Based in Vallejo, CA, we pick the most interesting decommissioned fire hose to put into the hands of local designers and artisans, who help give the hose a whole new purpose. They’re always coming up with new ways to integrate this amazing, resilient material into beautiful, handmade pieces.
While the name Oxgut honors the very first fire hose of Ancient Greece, our designs are circa now. Each piece features genuine fire hose salvaged from U.S. Fire Departments.
So keep an eye out for the latest in our collection.
More Than A Message: The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation
Every city has its own natural disasters that are all too familiar and, being in California, ours happens to be fires. Some set intentionally, but most are products of high winds, inadvertent actions from humans, overgrowth in ecosystems, or a combination of these. In 2019 alone, Cal Fire and the US Forest Service recorded 7,860 fires (approx 259,823 acres) in the state of California. While those numbers are hard to process, what is undeniably more difficult to fathom are the number of innocent victims affected by those fires. Hundreds lose their lives, thousands are burned, and hundreds of thousands are displaced - having little to nothing to return home to. The reality of these truths weigh heavy but are not without hope. The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF) is on a mission to provide education on burn and fire prevention, while also offering a community of support and services to burn survivors. [...]
Proud to support the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF), a California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing burns and fires and providing services to those who have been affected by a burn injury.
AARBF brings together health care providers, firefighters, emergency workers, burn care professionals, burn survivors, and our community to enhance the quality of life for burn survivors and to make burn injuries a thing of the past.
