Temple Foundation's commitment to the safety and well-being of our community."
The Stryker Lucas units are a critical addition to the department's emergency response capabilities, enhancing the life-saving efforts of our firefighters and paramedics. This award underscores the vital role of private philanthropy in meeting community needs and ensuring public safety.
