Eatery’s foundation gives equipment grants to Md. fire companies

The Florida-based Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, the nonprofit of Firehouse Subs, is set to mark more than $50,000 in equipment grants to Maryland fire companies at local Firehouse Subs franchise restaurants on Friday.
Westminster Fire Engine & Hose Co. No. 1 received an all-terrain vehicle with skid unit worth $28,429, which will let firefighters work in areas impassable by other emergency vehicles.
Lutherville Volunteer Fire Co. received four automated external defibrillators and an automated chest compression system worth $22,134.
Each Firehouse Subs restaurant lets customers round up their bills, collects spare change, and sells used pickle jars to benefit the foundation.
