St. Augustine — The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation awarded a $20,250 grant to the St. Augustine Police Department for automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
“We are extremely grateful to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs in St. Augustine for providing us with this grant,” said Public Information Officer Dee Brown of the St. Augustine Police Department. “This funding will allow us to provide even greater support to the citizens of St. Augustine during emergency situations.”
According to a recent press release, the AED’s will replace current and unserviceable AEDs, allowing patrol officers to properly respond to cardiac emergencies. This new equipment will allow every patrol officer to begin lifesaving measures before rescue units arrive on the scene.
The grant is part of more than $69 million given by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to public safety organizations across the U.S.
