Firehouse Subs donations help make Utah County safer October 3, 2017, 10:03 amThe Lehi Police Department also received a $12, 950 grant from the Foundation to purchase tactical helmets which will protect firefighters during hostile emergency situations. "Officer safety is a major concern of our administration, but it is difficult to juggle so many priorities with the limited funds available," Lehi Police Department Lieutenant Kenny Rose said. "We are very appreciative of the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for their generosity in helping us acquire these tactical helmets. They are an important part of our plan to ensure our officers are able to return safely home to their families." Two other Utah County departments received Firehouse Subs Foundation grants which were announced August 22. Pleasant Grove Fire Department received a $21,481 grant to purchase a chest compression system which will assist firefighters by delivering uninterrupted chest compressions at a constant rate and depth to cardiac arrest patients, helping improve a patient's chance of survival. The Utah County Sheriff's Mounted Posse received a $14,115 grant to purchase 18 radios and remote speaker microphones which are expected to improve communication between officers in the mountains during search and rescue missions. Firehouse Subs are located in northern Utah County at 218 North West State Rd. Suite 4 American Fork and 2975 West Clubhouse Drive Suite A, Lehi.
