Snohomish County Fire Awarded 40K Grant From Firehouse Subs Foundation

Snohomish County Fire Protection District 22 received a $44,193 grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to enhance their emergency response capabilities. The funding will allow the department to purchase new battery-powered extrication tools, replacing outdated equipment that has served for 25 years. With these upgraded tools, the district aims to improve its ability to respond to auto incidents and enhance rescue operations. Fire Chief Travis Hots expressed deep appreciation for the grant, noting its impact on local emergency services. Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has awarded over $98 million in grants to public safety organizations since its inception in 2005, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to first responders.

This grant forms part of a recent allocation of 65 grants across the U. S. , totaling over $1. 7 million in value. The district's improved equipment will not only benefit their immediate area but also neighboring communities during emergencies.

For those wishing to contribute, donations can be made at any Firehouse Subs restaurant or through the foundation's website.
