Grant is part of more than $4.1 million given by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada to public safety organizations across Canada

Kingsville Fire and Rescue recently received a $23,326 grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada to ensure our first responders have the necessary equipment to keep community members and themselves safe. The grant will be used to purchase a new Highway Stabilization Kit and two strut supporters, allowing the department to support the highway expansion and protect all that travel on it.

“We are grateful to the Foundation for awarding us this grant,” said Deputy Fire Chief, Jeromy Garant. “The new highway stabilizer kit will fulfill a critical need within our department and allow our first responders to better help the people of Kingsville during emergency situations.”

The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada has awarded 369 grants to public safety organizations since 2015. This grant is one of 18 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada awarded to public safety organizations during the most recent grant cycle. The 18 grants will provide critical lifesaving equipment valued at more than $504,000 across Canada.

ABOUT FIREHOUSE SUBS PUBLIC SAFETY FOUNDATION OF CANADA

In 2005, the Firehouse Subs Founders established the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation in the U.S. with the mission of providing funding, lifesaving equipment and educational opportunities for first responders and public safety organizations.

Ten years later, with the opening of the first Canadian Firehouse Subs restaurant in 2015, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada was born.

Today, the Canadian Foundation continues the mission of impacting the lifesaving capabilities of local heroes and their communities and has awarded more than $4.1 million throughout Canada.
