Glynn County Fire Rescue Strengthens Emergency Response Thanks to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® Grant
As first responders continue serving the Golden Isles, it is essential that Glynn County Fire Rescue has the tools needed to respond effectively in emergencies. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® has recognized this need and recently awarded the department a $12,836 grant to purchase 504 Lithium-Ion Smoke Detector Units for community distribution.
The new smoke detectors will enable Glynn County Fire Rescue to further its mission of ensuring that all homes have working smoke detectors regardless of the residents’ financial status or ability to pay.
“We are extremely grateful to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs® restaurant in Brunswick for this vital support,” said Vincent DiCristofalo, Chief of Glynn County Fire Rescue. “Smoke alarms are essential to keeping our community safe by providing early warning of fires and giving families valuable time to escape and call for help.”
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 $109 million to public safety organizations.
