Firehouse Subs® Extinguishes The Heat With Fifth Annual H2O For Heroes

Guests Receive Medium Sub For Hydrating Local First Responders

July 27, 2016 // Franchising.com // JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Firehouse Subs invites guests nationwide to help their local first responders beat the heat in exchange for a sub with the fifth annual H2O for Heroes bottled water collection drive. On Saturday, August 6, all Firehouse Subs restaurants will provide one medium sub* to each guest who donates an unopened, 24-pack of bottled water. The donated water will be provided to local first responders in addition to senior and community centers, aiding those in need of water during the hot summer months when dehydration and other heat-related illnesses are most threatening.

In 2012, Phoenix-area franchisees Jerry and Windy Griffin launched H2O for Heroes as a local initiative to support firefighters battling wildfires. Now in its fifth year, the program has expanded into a nationwide effort to aid first responders and community members in need. With heat indexes reaching triple-digit temperatures across the nation, and deadly wildfires devastating homes in California and Arizona, H2O for Heroes continues to fuel Firehouse Subs' ongoing commitment to public safety, while also encouraging guests to help their community.

"First responder support is an integral part of our brand heritage and mission statement, and it is an effort we consistently work to maintain and build up," said Don Fox, Chief Executive Officer, Firehouse of America, LLC. "I'm proud that for the first time in our brand's history this program is now a national initiative for all communities to participate in."

Firehouse Subs recently opened its 1,000th restaurant in Rowland Heights, California and currently serves its signature hot subs to guests in 44 states, Puerto Rico and Canada.

*Limit one medium sub per person, per case of unopened 24-pack bottled water.
*Excludes Firehouse Subs restaurants in Puerto Rico
