Local Firefighters Participate In "Controlled Burn" We at FGS felt privileged to observe local firefighters "do their thing" on Saturday July 14, 2007 - and battle a fire in an abandoned property. Unlike the usual fire call, this time the teams knew exactly where the fire started, and they knew exactly who started it... Martin Barry, Pennsylvania State Fire Instructor. The home, which was donated by FGS owner John C. Sobeck, was used to offer first-hand, experience-based training to area firefighters. Initially, only sections were ignited and controlled. By mid-day, the entire home was engulfed with flames until nothing was left but a partially standing chimney. Throughout the session, firefighters took turns entering the inferno, and upon exit, would have their vital signs checked by local EMS personnel. Members of Jackson Township, Plymouth Township, Franklin Township, Trucksville, Shavertown, Luzerne, Kingston and Mount Zion Fire Departments participated in the session, while Chief Bill Eck of the Trucksville Fire Department sponsored the event. Throughout the day, Chief Eck was seen buzzing in and out of the burning structure, and continuously directing and overseeing his crews in an effortless and professional manner. As a matter of fact, all of the firefighters in attendance, regardless of rank, also handled themselves in a professional manner.
First General To Clean Midtown Village Clock While the city of Wilkes
Barre is "brightening" the streets of Wilkes Barre
by erecting new streetlights, FGS will be doing
its part by donating its cleaning services to help restore Wilkes-Barre’s
Midtown Village Clock. While a final cleaning date
has not yet been finalized, First General Services will be
utilizing its novel Soda-Blast Cleaning System
to renew the finish of the clock and to improve the overall
appearance. The System utilizes
a baking soda mixture applied under various air pressure
settings to clean and deodorize surfaces marred by smoke,
water, chemicals, graffiti, etc., without damaging the
original entity. It
can be used on a variety of surfaces including pavement,
concrete, wood, metal, glass; hard, as well as some porous
surfaces. FGS has had over a dozen opportunities within the past year to apply this unique cleaning process in jobs that required timely cleaning and deodorizing of a variety of surface types. It has been used in commercial and residential applications, both indoors and outdoors to facilitate the cleaning and deodorizing processes involved in a professional restoration.
