Meet Our Family

Greg Harnage Sr.- Greg dedicated more than 30 years to the fire service and retired as a Fire Captain with a California state agency in 2008. Today, he continues serving the fire community by handcrafting each piece of leather gear with exceptional attention to detail. His goal is simple: create products that firefighters can rely on throughout their careers.

When he’s not in the leather shop, Greg enjoys spending time on the family’s farm, caring for their animals, and embracing the slower pace of country life. Although retired from active service, his passion for craftsmanship and supporting the fire service remains as strong as ever.

Corinne Harnage- As the woman-owned half of 5 Alarm Leather, Corinne is the driving force behind the day-to-day operations of the family business and a proud wife and mother of three. She oversees customer service, order management, marketing, social media, website management, product development, and the overall growth of the company.

Working side by side with her father, Greg, Corinne also handcrafts every leather piece that leaves 5 Alarm Leather. From cutting and assembling to finishing and quality checking, she takes pride in ensuring every product meets the high standards firefighters have come to expect. Whether she’s answering customer questions, designing new products, building custom orders, or packaging shipments, Corinne is committed to preserving the tradition, craftsmanship, and personal service that have defined 5 Alarm Leather for more than two decades.

Together, Greg and Corinne combine decades of fire service experience with modern business leadership, making 5 Alarm Leather proudly firefighter-owned, woman-owned, and family-operated.

 

Greg Jr- Gregory plays an important behind-the-scenes role at 5 Alarm Leather. He helps keep the business running smoothly by managing data entry, invoicing, website product uploads, inventory updates, and other day-to-day administrative tasks. His attention to detail helps ensure orders are processed accurately and the website stays up to date, allowing the family to focus on crafting the high-quality leather gear firefighters depend on.

For more than 15 years, the Harnage family has proudly continued the tradition of building handcrafted leather firefighter gear.
