FirePro’s Christmas party was held in not so sunny weather on November 17th at Kingston Park Raceway.  The team at Kingston Park were not prepared for the what was about to hit them as the FirePro team entered the track. The rain began on the first lap which caused a slippery track and many bruises but did not dampen the FirePro team spirit. After 2 hours of racing the team were tired and very damp, thankfully a delcious BBQ and some shade were awaiting us as we left the track. There were many bets on as to whom would take out the top 3 spots on the podium, but the Sunderland brothers took out the top 2 spots. In 1st place was Dean Sunderland, 2nd Shaun Sunderland and 3rd Shane Price.  

FirePro’s 3^rd Annual Grand Slam was held in beautiful weather on September  1^st. The semi’s saw last year’s runner up, Tim Norris gave GM J9 a good run around, but she took it well & he is still on the payroll!! It was a fight to the end in the Final, with Tim bowing out graciously to Ellen Hepburn’s strong forehand. Thanks to all our employees and associates for a great day of rivalry, fun and fitness. Top marks to master chef Kim Carmichael who excelled at the BBQ. 

Further shortlisting from all seven regions placed FirePro (Qld) in the top 3 in our state and secured us as a State finalist for 2011.

Training is paramount to the long term success of any business and particularly beneficial in times of depressed economic stability. FirePro(Qld) are immensely proud of our achievements in providing a workplace where all employees may further their skills, take pride in their trade and develop both themselves and our company as a leader in our industry.

Many clients have had their basements and lower levels of buildings inundated with water, causing major damage to pump control rooms, smoke & heat detection systems and evacuation components. In some cases this has made them uninhabitable, even after the clean-up process, due to strict fire safety requirements in these buildings. FirePro (Qld) has been working diligently with property owners and body corporate managers to get as many systems back online and operational as soon as possible.

If you require assistance in getting your fire systems back into operational status please contact FirePro (Qld) on (07) 3807 9988 and we can have a technician attend your site promptly to provide you with a full on-site assessment of the works required.
