Firehouse Subs in Homewood awarded a $4000 oximeter to the towns fire department in December 2009. The donation was made through the restaurant chain’s non-profit Public Safety Commission. Brookside Fire Chief Donnie Huey will use the oximeter on the general public to check blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels as well as an aid to firefighters.
