Perry Fire & Emergency Services Receives $17,000 Grant

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation announced the award of a $17,683 grant to Perry Fire & Emergency Services to ensure first responders have the necessary equipment to keep community members and themselves safe. The grant will be used to purchase a Rescue One iSeries inflatable rescue boat, motor, and trailer, fulfilling a critical need within the department.

“On behalf of the department and its members, I want to thank the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs in Perry for recognizing our needs and awarding funding to provide this equipment,” said Assistant Chief Kirk Crumpton. “Providing first responders with the right tools is crucial for them to successfully do their jobs.”

The new rescue boat will be used for rescue and recovery operations not only within the City of Perry, but for all surrounding counties that may request this vital equipment in a time of need. Having the appropriate tools on hand makes all the difference in allowing first responders to effectively serve their communities and save lives.
