Sherborn Firefighters Receive Equipment Grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety

Grant is part of more than $75 million given by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to public safety organizations across the U.S.

(Sherborn, Mass.) — The Sherborn Fire and Rescue Department recently received a $21,266 grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to purchase a High Fidelity Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Simulation Manikin Kit and accessories.

This critical equipment will allow our firefighters to be better prepared in emergency situations and protect the citizens of Sherborn to the best of our abilities. 

“On behalf of the entire department, I want to thank the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for their generous donation and Sherborn Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Anthony Louni for his efforts to make this possible,” said Chief Ward. “We are incredibly humbled to receive this vital equipment to continue to keep the community of Sherborn safe.” 

The new High Fidelity EMS Simulation Manikin Kit will be used to support the department’s education by providing them with a manikin that will simulate real-life EMS scenarios. When minutes count, having the right tools in the right hands makes all the difference. 

For the past 17 years, donations have been the driving force behind Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation supporting first responders and public safety organizations nationwide. To learn more about Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation or donate directly, visit FirehouseSubsFoundation.org.
