BEING GREAT

FIXING THINGS AND SOLVING PROBLEMS

GETZ SAVES THE DAY!

An improperly installed suppression system was preventing a new restaurant from opening until Getz saved the day! The contractor was referred by the local Fire Marshall after their new system failed on its final test. The kitchen could not operate until corrections were verified, so Jeff Warren worked to correct the issues quickly, so they could get up and running.

FIRST ON THE SCENE

Bill Hand came upon a car accident moments after the vehicle was flipped upside down. He dialed 911 before calling Steve Hough who has spent 37 years with the Morton Fire Department for direction. They were able to confirm that there were no major injuries and stayed until first responders arrived.

PIGLETS ON THE LOSE!

Brandon Zimmerman spotted a piglet walking down I-72, and pulled over to rescue him from the busy road. Brandon called police, and entertained the little guy with fire extinguishers and donuts. Authorities were able to flag down the livestock truck and return him home.
