Fire Heroes

When a fire occurs, it can be a terrifying experience.  At SERVPRO of Mobile County, we come in after the trauma has occurred, to begin the cleanup process and help you get your life back on track.  For many of our customers we are small heroes in their eyes as we clean and care for their personal contents and home.  We are there to help put the pieces back together, but we want to salute the REAL Heroes of Fire...our local Firefighters.  Each day these brave men and women put their lives on the line to save others and help save their homes and businesses.  We can only show them a small token of our gratitude, but it is our goal to make sure they know how much they are appreciated.  As part of that ideal, we started the SERVPRO Serves: Feeding Firefighters program in 2017.  Each month we pick one firehouse in the City of Mobile to receive lunch on us.  This year, we expanded the program to include neighboring municipalities in the Greater Mobile area.  In 2018, we also began a joint initiative with the City of Mobile Fire-Rescue to open fire stations to the public.  This program, known as Friday at the Firehouse allows kids of all ages to meet the firefighters, explore the trucks and tour the stations.  A different fire house is opened on Fridays from Memorial Day through Labor Day and we are on hand to provide snacks, water and games.  It has been a great collaboration and we have had a blast!  We hope to continue to grow programs that build the relationship between our Fire Heroes and our community!
