It’s important that the Spencerport Fire District remains properly equipped to handle all emergencies to best serve people who live in Spencerport, Ogden, and southern Parma. Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® recognized the need for new lifesaving equipment and recently awarded a grant for around $40,000 to purchase 31 new Scott Air Cylinders.
This grant covers the cost to replace current air cylinders that are nearing the end of their service life. This will provide Spencerport firefighters with a consistent supply of breathing air when responding to emergency calls where it’s necessary to use a self contained breathing apparatus. The new air cylinders ultimately improve the lifesaving capabilities of first responders when called into action.
“We are grateful to the Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs® in Greece for providing us with this invaluable funding,” said Aaron Baker, Public Information Officer of the Spencerport Fire District. “The added benefit of having the very best equipment on hand means everything in an emergency when every second counts.”
For the past 19 years, charitable donations have been the driving force behind Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, supporting first responders and public safety organizations nationwide.
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has awarded 6,841 grants valued at over $96 million to public safety organizations since 2005. This grant is one of 87 the Foundation awarded during the most recent grant cycle. The 87 grants will provide critical lifesaving equipment valued at more than $2.1 million across the U.S.
