The purpose-driven brand will also host Touch-the-Truck events on May 2 nationwide, inviting community members to experience a fire truck and meet the first responders who operate them 

TORONTO, April 30, 2026 /CNW/ - To mark International Firefighters' Day on Monday, May 4, Firehouse Subs is inviting every firefighter across the country to enjoy a free medium sub at any of its restaurants in Canada.*

Firehouse Subs President Mike Hancock recently paid a visit to firefighter and TV personality Kevin Wendt and his crew, hand-delivering hot subs straight to their station.

"We're proud to honour firefighters year round through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada and on May 4, we're extending a small token of gratitude with free subs for firefighters, who dedicate their lives to keeping communities safe," said Mike Hancock, President, Firehouse Subs Canada. "We're also excited to bring back our Touch-the-Truck events from coast to coast, giving communities the chance to meet and celebrate the frontline heroes who protect them."

On Saturday, May 2, families are invited to attend free Touch-the-Truck community events, giving kids a rare, hands-on chance to climb aboard a fire truck, explore the gear that saves lives and meet first responders. It's part open house, part tribute — and a tangible expression of the more than $6.3 million the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada has invested in Canada's first responders.
