Firefighters, emergency medical technicians/paramedics, police officers, 911 dispatchers, nurses and physicians nationwide can register for the coupon beginning today through Oct. 24 for this special offer by visiting Lowes.com/firstresponders. First responders who successfully register will receive an email with their redeemable discount for a single purchase on eligible items.

"By providing this special discount, we hope to offer a gesture of gratitude and appreciation to the many brave individuals who put their lives on the line each and every day."

On Oct. 2 and Oct. 9, more than 1,000 Lowe's stores nationwide will host fire safety education events and demos in Lowe's parking lots led by local fire departments with fire trucks and First Alert.
