Chattanooga-Hamilton County Rescue Service received an artificial high directional system (AHD) worth $4,895. The AHD will be used in rescue missions where victims must be lifted to safety, such as off a cliff or mountain, allowing first responders to quickly and safely rescue victims and provide life-saving assistance.
In 2005, Firehouse Subs created the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, life-saving equipment, and educational opportunities to first-responders and public safety organizations. Through the non-profit 501(c)(3), Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has given more than $18 million to hometown heroes in 45 states and Puerto Rico, including more than $930,000 in Tennessee.
Each restaurant recycles leftover, five-gallon pickle buckets, available to guests for a $2 donation to the Foundation. Donation canisters on register counters explain the non-profit’s mission and collect spare change, while the Round Up Program allows guests to “round up” their bill to the nearest dollar. All funds raised benefit the Foundation.
