OBITUARIES
Commissioner of Insurance
- Georgia State Fire Marshal's
Office fire safety training trailer is
getting a fix up at the Thomson
Fire and Rescue headquarters.
The fire safety training trailer
travels over the state providing
children with important
information and training on fire
safety and weather safety. This
unit has been in service for over
six years and certain features were
becoming worn.
James Crawley of the State
Fire Marshal's Office and a
volunteer with the Thomson Fire
Department took on the job of
fixing up the interior of the unit
for future use.
The Thomson Fire Department
provided space for the repairs and
assisted with the removal of the
furniture and equipment.
Remnant & Rug Shop of
Thomson donated the carpet for
the floor. Don Ray an employee
of the Remnant & Rug Shop
donated the labor to install the
carpet. James Crawley removed
the old carpet floor covering and
repaired several items damaged
and worn due to use.
Crawley stated, "Thomson Fire
Department and local merchants
made this project possible. It will
benefit hundreds and thousands
of children across the State of
Georgia."
Some of the items repaired
on the unit were door hardware
replaced, bench seating recovered,
carpet replaced, flooring repaired,
wall and windows cleaned,
latches on cabinets repaired,
exterior doors
sealed, exterior wall
fasteners tighten,
and stair rails
repaired.
The unit has been
used in Thomson
for safety fairs at
Wal-Mart, local
elementary schools,
and local emergency
recognition day.
Thanks again to
the Swain family,
Don Ray for
assistance with
this project. The
project was started
on Wednesday
and completed on
Saturday.
