MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Box 55 is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization of volunteers who offer rehabilitation services to the Nashville Fire Department and other municipalities.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Currently we have two response vehicles in our fleet. Each truck is equipped with a microwave, coffee makers, misting fans, tents, folding chairs, propane heaters, several coolers with cold drinks, snacks, and more. Box 55 members are alerted by pager and respond 24 hours, 7 days a week when needed. Based on protocol, one or two members drive the rehab unit to the incident scene, while other members will arrive in their personal vehicle. A monthly meeting is held every third Thursday at various Nashville Fire Department Stations to address the needs of the organization and to provide training. Visitors are always welcome to attend. Check the events tab for further information. As the demands and definitions of rehab continue to change, Box 55 is dedicated to changing and growing with them. Our goal—to respond quickly when called and to provide rehabilitation and re-hydration to first responders—remains the same.
