Tennessee First Responders Use Combi Tool to Rescue Trapped Driver

Centerville, TN

After receiving extrication equipment donated by the Foundation in 2020, Coble Fire Department in Centerville, Tennessee used the awarded tools to save a life. Although the tools have been used numerous times since being received, this was one of the most successful rescues.

Crews were called to the scene after a driver lost control of his vehicle and rolled it, trapping himself inside. Thanks to the combi tool awarded by the Foundation, the department was able to rescue the driver and get him to safety quickly and efficiently.

“We thank you for your support of our organization and your dedicated work to ensure volunteer departments like ours are equipped with the necessary tools to make a difference in our community!”
