First responders across Las Vegas received a special delivery on Wednesday as part of “Project Firehouse: Rested & Ready,” a joint effort between Walker Furniture and Las Vegas Fire and Rescue that offers new mattresses and foundations to fire stations.
According to 8 News Now, the current goal is to replace 152 mattresses at 15 Las Vegas Fire and Rescue firehouses.
On Wednesday, Fire Station 41 was the first of many deliveries, which received a total of 12 mattresses and foundations.
Las Vegas Fire Department Chief Jeff Buchanan told 8 News Now “We’re one of the fewer fire departments in the country that are really working from beginning to end on all calls. These men and women need great sleep and, having a new mattress, a mattress that fits and contours to their body, that’s ergonomic is essential to them being rested.”
