Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD)—also known as Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue (TMFR)—announced yesterday that they are the recipients of a grant from Firehouse Subs for the purchase of new Globe firefighting boots for use in unincorporated areas of Washoe County like Sun Valley, Nevada.
Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® recognized the need for new lifesaving equipment, and awarded TMFR a $39,120 grant to purchase structural firefighting boots, which will replace aging boots that may not meet current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.
“We are grateful to the Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs® in Reno for providing us with this invaluable funding,” said Richard Edwards, Fire Chief for TMFR. “The added benefit of having the very best equipment on hand means everything in an emergency when every second counts.”
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has awarded 7,013 grants valued at over $102 million to public safety organizations since 2005. This grant is one of 94 the Foundation awarded during the most recent grant cycle.
