Report
Summary
The purpose of the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant Program is to provide life-saving equipment and other needed resources to first responders and public safety organizations. The Fire Department is applying to Firehouse Subs for three forcible entry door props for use at the Training Academy.
Forcible entry door props are essential items for training firefighters on the use of hand tools and proper techniques needed to breach metal and security doors to enter buildings. The portability of the door props will also allow them to be transported to other training sites for crews to use during hands-on exercises. If awarded, the Firehouse Subs Foundation would purchase and provide the equipment to the Fire Department. The grant program does not require a matching contribution from awardees.
Contract Term
There is no contract term or period of performance.
Financial Impact
If awarded, the Fire Department will receive the equipment from the Firehouse Subs Foundation. Any necessary maintenance or repair costs will be funded through the Fire Department's operating budget.
