Yes. as
a volunteer firefighter, you can deduct any expenses incurred during service,
such as buying your own equipment & gear, mileage, etc., as a charitable
contribution on Schedule A.
The IRS standard
mileage rate for charitable activities is 14 cents per mile (2017).

Also, ask your volunteer firefighter association about
