Firehouse Subs hopes to raise a half a million dollars for its foundation during the month of October. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation purchases equipment for public safety organizations nationwide. Since 2010, this annual campaign has raised more than $1.3 million for the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, according to a news release.

"These donations drastically improve first responders' emergency response capabilities and save lives," said Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Executive Director Robin Peters.

Firehouse Subs is encouraging guests to support the Foundation by purchasing a $1 or $5 paper medallion during the month of October.

Firehouse Subs will also purchase a $1 medallion for every Hook & Ladder sub sold on Oct. 10, the brand's 20th anniversary.

Firehouse Subs is also encouraging fans to take "safety selfies" by posting photos of themselves performing tasks such as wearing a helmet when riding a bike, stocking a first aid kit, wearing bright colors when walking at night, checking the batteries in a smoke detector, blowing out a candle before leaving a room, or posing in a Firehouse Subs restaurant with a Public Safety Month medallion.
