Grant is part of more than $71 million given by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to public safety organizations across the U.S.
Senatobia Fire Department members are now better equipped to handle emergencies and keep the local community of Senatobia safe thanks to a grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. The Foundation recognized our critical need and awarded us $29,370 to purchase extrication equipment.
“We are extremely grateful to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs in Southaven for providing us with this grant and positively impacting our community,” said Chantay Rhone, Public Information Officer, Senatobia Fire Department. “We are so grateful to be given the tools needed to continue to keep the citizens of Senatobia safe and protected.”
The extrication equipment will be used following motor vehicle accidents and structural collapses, providing quick and effective extrication. This will help first responders limit additional injuries and improve survivability.
For the past 16 years, donations have been the driving force behind Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® supporting first responders and public safety organizations nationwide. To learn more about Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation or donate directly, visit FirehouseSubsFoundation.org.
