Tina Schwab
Owner - Colorado Native
TLS Emergency Equipment is a family-owned, Colorado-based "one-stop shop" founded on a three-generation legacy of public service. As the daughter, granddaughter, and sister-in-law of Colorado Fire Chiefs and Marshals, founder Tina Schwab built TLS in 2020 to provide the caliber of gear she would trust for her own family. With over 30 years of professional leadership experience, Tina pairs deep-rooted industry knowledge with a personal, "boots-on-the-ground" approach—prioritizing in-person meetings and true collaboration to meet the unique needs of every department.
From custom-forged Blackinton badges to elite rescue hardware from PETZL and CMC, we only partner with manufacturers who embody the same dedication and modern technology that we do. At TLS, we believe that quality tools are the backbone of every life-saving mission, and we are committed to providing expert attention to detail, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery for those who protect our communities. Because at the end of the day, we’re all in this together.
