Holden, LA – In response to the devastating floods that hit our area in 2016, the board of directors of Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation approved life-saving equipment grant awards to Louisiana public safety departments valued at more than $177,000.
To celebrate these donations and to honor our community’s first responders, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation will be hosting an equipment dedication event at Ferrara Fire Apparatus on Wednesday, April 12th at 11:00 am.
Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was established in 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. With the mission of providing funding, life-saving equipment, and educational opportunities to first-responders and public safety organizations, our Foundation has given more than $24 million to hometown heroes in 46 states and Puerto Rico, including more than $377,000 in Louisiana.
Robin Sorensen, Firehouse Sub’s Co-Founder and Board President, will be presenting the awards. Our guest speaker will be Butch Browning, LA State Fire Marshal. In addition, local Mayor’s, Parish President’s and Sheriff’s will be in attendance. Ferrara is pleased to be a part of this noble event recognizing our local first responders.
