Whataburger recently partnered with the Gary Sinise Foundation to support Clarksville Fire Rescue with critical dive equipment, helping enhance safety for first responders in Clarksville.

Through a nearly $33,000 grant, the department’s dive team received new personal protective equipment (PPE) for swiftwater and dive rescue operations, ensuring more team members can safely respond during emergencies.

“Swiftwater and dive rescue operations are some of the most dangerous things we do,” said Assistant Chief Brandon McCurdy. “The right equipment protects our people and allows them to perform at the level the community expects.”

This investment reflects Whataburger’s ongoing commitment to supporting first responders and strengthening the communities they serve every day.
