The Cannon County Rescue Squad was awarded the Hurst Jaws-of-Life® through a generous grant by the Gary Sinse Foundation recently

Bobby George, Director of Outreach at the Gary Sinise Foundation, said, "Part of our mission at the Gary Sinise Foundation is to serve and fiercely protect those who so courageously defend and protect our nation. First responders like Cannon County Rescue Squad are absolutely indispensable to the safety of local communities. We are proud to provide the necessary equipment so that these heroes can perform at the best of their abilities and further protect the citizens of Cannon County and Middle Tennessee."

The Hurst Rescue Company patented the first rescue tool system over 45 years ago, and they haven't stopped innovating since. The EWXT rescue tools (received on the grant by the Cannon County Rescue Squad) are the first of their kind. They allow rescuers to operate the tool submerged in water, unencumbered by hoses or power units. Despite their unique skill, they're still the fastest, most powerful tools in the business.

Michael Underhill, CEO and Captain for the Rescue Squad said, "We are an all-volunteer team with limited financial resources, and this is a game changer for our organization. The funding from the Gary Sinise Foundation has allowed us to accelerate our 5-year strategic plan to update our equipment. We are grateful to the Gary Sinise Foundation for making such a substantial gift to our rural communities."
