Savannah – Chatham County Public School System issued the following announcement on Apr. 12.
As first responders continue to serve Chatham County, it’s important that the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools’ nursing staff remain properly equipped to handle all emergencies. Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation recognized our need for new lifesaving equipment and recently awarded the District a grant of over $23,000 to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training equipment.
The new AEDs will ensure that all of our schools have these lifesaving devices present. This will enhance our ability to provide safe sites for our staff and students, and ultimately improve the lifesaving capabilities of our first responders when called into action.
“We are thankful to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs for providing us with this invaluable funding,” said District Lead Nurse Lisa Wilson. “The added benefit of having the very best equipment on hand means everything because in an emergency, every second counts.”
For the past 16 years, donations have been the driving force behind Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® supporting first responders and public safety organizations nationwide. During the most recent grant cycle, the Foundation awarded 90 grants totaling more than $2 million to public safety organizations across the country that need critical lifesaving equipment and resources.
