City of Athens, Tennessee Fire Department receives grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® to enhance emergency response here in Athens, Tennessee!
As first responders continue to serve the Athens community, having the proper tools to respond effectively during emergencies remains essential. Recognizing this need, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® recently awarded the City of Athens Fire Department a $39,313 grant to purchase a Hurst Spreader, Cutter, Ram, and accessories.
You can see those new tools below!
These new extrication tools will greatly enhance our ability to respond to vehicle accidents and other rescue situations quickly and safely. They allow firefighters to cut, spread, and remove debris with precision, reducing the time it takes to reach trapped victims. This not only improves survival outcomes but also helps protect responders from unnecessary risk during complex rescues.
For more than 20 years, charitable donations have powered the Firehouse Subs® Public Safety Foundation’s mission to support first responders and public safety organizations nationwide. Since 2005, the Foundation has awarded more than 7,200 grants totaling over $107 million to public safety organizations.
