MAGLITE Deepens its Support of the National Police Dog Foundation
- Every Handler who lost a police K-9 Officer in the line of duty in 2024 will receive a special remembrance from MAGLITE at the National K-9 Memorial this May - WASHINGTON, D.C., and ONTARIO, Calif., May 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — MAGLITE is once again teaming up with the National Police Dog Foundation in their efforts to honor all K-9s killed in the line of duty in 2024 and their handlers at the National K-9 Memorial in Washington, D.C., Sunday, May 11. MAGLITE will be providing an engraved MAGLITE® flashlight with the fallen K-9's name and the National Police Dog Foundation logo to every handler honored at the event. The National Police Dog Foundation helps law enforcement agencies with funding to achieve their goals of providing their community with K-9 units that have high-quality and well-trained police dogs. The Foundation assists Police Service K-9s by awarding Grants in Purchase, Training, Retired K-9 Veterinary Care, Active K-9 Veterinary Care, and several other programs. In addition, the Foundation has developed a network of veterinarians who assist agencies with costly medical situations that might occur during their K-9's active service career. Equally important to the Foundation is the continued care for the police service dogs after retirement. As part of the official events of Police Week in Washington, D.C., the National Police Dog Foundation hosts the annual National Police K-9 Memorial Service. The memorial service includes a wreath and rose-laying ceremony to honor the memory of fallen police K-9s who have given their lives in the line of duty. 'We are aware of the long-standing commitment to support law enforcement that MAGLITE has, and are pleased to have them as a partner supporting the mission of the National Police Dog Foundation,' said Judi Reilly, President of the National Police Dog Foundation.

Eagle Scout Who Saved Family Home from Palisades Fire Honored by MAGLITE with its Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award
- Andrew Grinsfelder built a DIY generator and pump system that drew water from the family swimming pool to save house from destruction in the firestorm - ONTARIO, Calif., March 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With flames bearing down on their home from the catastrophic Palisades fire, Andrew Grinsfelder found no water coming to their house to save it from destruction. So, the Eagle-Scout used a generator and pump, attached a hose, and pumped water from the family swimming pool. He then got onto the roof and used the system he had just created to save the house by keeping the roof wet with the pool water. But his heroics did not end there. Disregarding his safety, he and his mother went through their neighborhood to assist others. For these acts, he has been recognized with the Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award. Maglite created this award to honor civilians who perform extraordinarily in challenging and even dire circumstances. It also reflects the values of toughness and reliability that underlie our products and the people who use them. The award's first recipient was Gary Fishbone, who saved many people's lives by leading them out of the World Trade Center Basement on 9/11 using a mini Maglite. Another Los Angeles teen honored was Hailey Morinico, who fought off a Momma Bear and her cubs menacing her dog in her Bradbury home in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County. 'What Andrew did was extraordinarily brave and ingenious,' said Tony Maglica, Founder of Maglite. 'We are happy to honor him, and I am sure this young man has a very bright future ahead of him.' Andrew's family has a long history with Maglites. 'We've always had Maglite flashlights in our family as long as I can remember,' said Andrew. 'They are very reliable, just about indestructible, so they are a great product for preparedness because bad things just don't happen in daylight. We also appreciate that they are manufactured here in the USA so we can feel good about buying them and supporting American workers.'
