Who Are We and What Do We Do
First responders risk their lives everyday to make our lives better and safer for everyone, often this means doing intense work in unforgiving conditions. Even heros need to replenish their energy before going back to work. HART provides this much needed energy by handing out food, warm and cold drinks, hand warmers, cooling towels and much more. This much needed rehab on scenes supports First Responders during a critical time when they are exhausted and still have work to do.
"You can't really understand what it means to have worked really hard for two hours straight and be tired, physically, mentally, emotionally. To be hungry and completely thirsty and have someone with a smile take some of that exhaustion away and offer you a cup of hot chocolate or a coffee or a warm sandwich, it can really give people a second wind, and an opportunity to get right back into finishing the job." - DAFD Chief Douglas Armstrong, Concentrate Media Article, 2024
