Jacksonville, FL - Paul Davis Restoration has announced availability of Firefighter Combat Challenge 2006 wall calendars. The company created the full color piece in coordination with event producers On Target Productions. As associate sponsors of the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge®, Paul Davis Restoration produced the calendars which feature close-up and wide angle photos that depict the profession's rigors demonstrated by thousands of firefighters last year.
Since 1966, Paul Davis Restoration has been an innovative and leading general contracting franchise organization servicing residential and commercial customers in the areas of restoration, reconstruction and remodeling. On Target Challenge is the owner of Firefighter Combat Challenge®.
From April until November, Challenge events are viewed by thousands of people who support firefighter competitors wearing "full bunker gear" and the SCOTT Air-Pak breathing apparatus. Firefighter Combat Challenge competitors simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing the 5-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized, 175 lb. "victim" as they race against themselves, their opponent and the clock.
According to Ken Sussex, Paul Davis Restoration’s Executive Director of Strategic Marketing, the calendar is just one of the many ways the company supports the competition. “Since 2004, we’ve enjoyed a very positive experience as sponsors of the event. This year, we wanted to continue our involvement in a larger capacity,” said Sussex. “Firefighters work hard to protect us in our communities and we want to give back by helping to promote their activities and inspire their spirit of competition through the calendars and during events activities," he said.
Many of Paul Davis Restoration’s 220 franchise offices participate in firefighter events with individual and team sponsorships, hospitality tents, specialty item giveaways, refreshments and name recognition in the field and online.
"We’re thrilled to have Firefighter Combat Challenge calendars for distribution through our website and at events,” said Paul O. Davis, Ph.D, founder of Firefighter Combat Challenge and On Target Productions. “Many of the registered competitors who appear in the calendar are the firefighters and fire chiefs we work with on a daily basis and we’re proud to feature them,” said Dr. Davis. Calendars are available for sale on www.firefighterchallenge.com or contact Stephanie Miller at On Target Productions, 301.421.4433, smiller@firefighterchallenge.com. Cost per calendar is $3.00.
According to Sussex, "We welcome Firefighter Challenge to our family of public service projects which serve the community. Firefighters and fire departments have long been our good friends and customers while we help them during times of disaster and the aftermath,” he said.
“Our sponsorship of firefighter events joins another community service project we
organize each year. Paul Davis Restoration’s Restoring America is a home improvement initiative designed to help those who cannot afford or are physically unable to fix up their homes. Paul Davis franchise offices provide time, labor, and materials to a local beneficiary and will fix a home at no charge as part of the company's belief in giving back to our neighborhoods where we do business," he said.
Paul Davis Restoration Inc. is the nation’s leading national full service mitigation, restoration and reconstruction company. For more information, contact Ken Sussex at 904.737.2779, ext. 212 or visit our website at www.pdrestoration.com
