SYNOPSIS: Established in 2005, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation donates lifesaving equipment to public safety agencies throughout the United States. Police Departments are frequently chosen to receive a grant of an AED unit to be placed in service within the community. The Winter Springs Police Department has been selected as a grant recipient and the Philips HeartStart FRx matches a model of AED widely used by our officers. The cost of this unit, had we purchased one with budgeted funds, would be approximately $1,700. There is no city match required by this grant. CONSIDERATIONS: Acceptance of this AED will allow the officers an extra unit to deploy while on patrol in life - threatening medical emergencies where this unit could be critical in saving a life.
