During PHC’s Fire Response Educational Summit held on January 17, Titusville Fire Department partnered with the ERT to provide hands-on training of the “The Bullseye™ system; knowledge of fire, disaster and safety procedures and regulations; the Joint Commission Environment of Care and Life Safety standards; and PHC’s fire response plan and protocols designed to maintain and restore operations during emergency incidents.

“On behalf of the Foundation, I want to thank the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and Britt and Jeff Diaz, our local Firehouse Subs Titus Landing franchise owners for recognizing our needs and awarding funding to provide this equipment,” said JPMF Board Chair, Randall Coleman. “Providing our Emergency Response Team with this training tool is crucial for them to successfully do their jobs.”
