Narrative:
I was contacted by the outbound crew that the fire gloves in the cockpit were missing. The crew called maintenance and was advised since the gloves are not in the MEL they grounded the plane and had to [be] replaced. The aircraft just came out of a heavy check and the gloves could have been removed then. The gloves are not part of the preliminary cockpit preparation checklist.
