Michelin Safety
Program Donates Tires to First Responders
Greenville, S.C.
—
Tire manufacturer Michelin announced plans to double the amount of tires it
will donate to first responders across the U.S. in the coming year through
the company's "Michelin's
Driving America's Safety" program.
The program dedicates resources to educating and supporting road safety.
Communities and individuals across
America
can nominate first-responder heroes for a free set of Michelin tires. The
nomination process,
detailed on
www.michelinman.com, ends on Nov. 23.
Twenty-five communities were awarded new tires this month for their first
responder emergency vehicles. A total of 50 first responders and their
vehicles will be selected for new tires in early 2008 through this year's
nomination process across America.
Firefighters and EMS personnel across the country respond to more than
500,000 emergency calls every day and communities rely on quick responses to
medical emergencies, fires and rescue efforts. However, many fire
departments and EMS squads across the country face financial difficulties
when it comes to maintaining equipment.
All nominations must be postmarked by Nov. 15 and received by Nov. 23.
