Bolingbrook FD Buys Thermal Imaging Camera, Thanks To Firehouse Subs

BOLINGBROOK, IL -- The Bolingbrook Fire Department recently received a grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to purchase a thermal imaging camera (TIC).

The grant, valued at $11,690, purchased a TIC that will be used to detect hot spots in burning buildings, allowing Bolingbrook Firefighters to quickly locate the origins of a fire.

"Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is truly the heart of Firehouse Subs. The Foundation is part of our culture and we're proud to support it," said Firehouse Subs franchisee Omar Shaker. "It takes a certain type of individual who will put their life on the line to protect others, we want to be sure they have the education needed to prepare them for emergencies."
