Quick response can save lives! ❤️🩹 During a community 5K in Atlantic Beach, Florida, a runner suffered sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed on the course. While CPR was underway, Atlantic Beach Police Department officers retrieved an AED donated by the Foundation and delivered a lifesaving shock. The runner made a full recovery and was able to celebrate his wedding days later. As National CPR & AED Awareness Week reminds us, having the right equipment nearby can make all the difference. https://t.co/1JczZE3qfi
It's National CPR & AED awareness week! Having AEDs can make the difference between life and death. Since our inception, we've donated more than 7,500 AEDs to first responders, schools and public safety organizations across the U.S.
When every second matters, the right tools make all the difference 🚒 We recently donated an automated chest compression system to Ashaway Ambulance Association in Rhode Island, allowing contactless CPR to be performed safely while patients are transported to the hospital.
Reaching patients where traditional vehicles can’t! 🚒 In Nevada’s rugged, mountainous terrain, East Fork Fire Protection District has relied on their granted UTV to transport countless trauma and medical patients across their 750-square-mile district. Since receiving it, the UTV has made it possible to access patients who would otherwise be out of reach, saving numerous lives.
@JTella87 We’re sorry this visit didn’t go as expected, due to the poor Steak and Cheese Melt. Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience, please send us a DM we would like to make this right!
Protecting those who protect us! ❤️🔥 Thanks to our supporters, Loves Park Fire Department in Illinois received six new sets of bunker gear. The properly fitted gear made a critical difference during a recent commercial fire, providing the team with the necessary protection to operate safely and effectively in this demanding environment.
Did you know? Training just one K9 can cost $10,000 or more. K9s are trusted partners and proven lifesavers. From tracking missing persons to detecting hazards, these dogs are essential to first responders. Many departments don’t have the funding to support K9 units, which is why we’re proud to help provide the resources they need to serve and protect.

Making a difference when it matters most. As wildfires impact communities nationwide, Knox County Fire Bureau in Tennessee has used their granted UTV to fight fires across more than 400 acres, transporting crews and equipment into areas no other apparatus could reach.

A heartfelt thank you to all first responders who continue to show up and protect our communities every day.
Our hearts are with the communities impacted by wildfires here at home and across the country. Our gratitude goes to the firefighters and first responders coming from near and far, working tirelessly to protect lives and contain these devastating fires.
