PITTSBURGH, November 6, 2017 – Vector Security announces the winner of its Fire Safety contest with the $5,000 award going to Bradfordville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department based in North Leon County, Tallahassee, Florida. Serving North Leon County, the Bradfordville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department has a dedicated team of volunteers who are fire and EMS professionals that assist residents in vehicle crashes, fires, medical, and other emergencies.

To celebrate Fire Safety Awareness during the month of October, Vector Security launched a campaign to award $5,000 to one fire department. The criteria was simple: take a photo with a representative from your local fire department holding a sign saying, “Vector Security Promotes Fire Safety;” post the photo to your Facebook page with the hashtag #FireSafetyVS17; “like” the Vector Security Facebook page; and submit an online form.

“This year, we wanted to do something extra to recognize the men and women who support our local communities. These heroes command our utmost respect,” says Art Miller, VP, Marketing for Vector Security. “We were impressed with the numerous entries and the creativity of everyone who took the time to enter. Congratulations to Bradfordville’s “creative heroes” who staged the winning photo. We are very proud to award this year’s prize to your Department.”

Miller, along with representatives from Vector Security district and branch locations will officially present the $5,000 check to Chief Sean Ruane on November 17.

“Bradfordville Volunteer Fire & Rescue is grateful to Vector Security for supporting our department,” says Chief Ruane. “The $5,000 will be used to outfit a new brush truck with emergency lights and sirens. Thanks again for supporting our efforts to provide fire and medical services to the residents of northeast Leon County!”

“I couldn’t be prouder to present this check to the brave men and women of Bradfordville,” says Stone Grable, General Manager of the Vector Security Tallahassee Branch. “What a blessing it is to have people like them who unselfishly volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Thank you and all of the other agencies that participated in this important campaign designed to build awareness of those who keep us all safe.”
