Communication is critical with every task we perform. Consistent terms and verbage ensures every audible is clear and concise. What better way than to have teams split up and have one crew read directions and the other build while wearing their SCBA masks. It was a great competition for the teams. Everything we do is for our amazing community to ensure the best professional service possible. We are here for you Lexington.
