Shambaugh and Son Fire Protection Service Division welcomed the BGC Project Blueprint program members to the new Shambaugh service building located at 1818 Research Drive.  

Cavin Gray, service sales estimator, began with the history of Shambaugh and the fire pump and sprinkler design and function. 

Cavin also provided a tour of the warehouse to show the kids what a fire pump and sprinkler risers look like.  

Mike Spaulding, Fire Extinguisher Manager, taught the kids the importance of the first line of fire defense – fire extinguishers.  The kids enjoyed the hands on virtual simulator of putting out a fire. 

After mastering the simulator, the kids experienced extinguishing a live fire.  

Overall, the kids learned the importance of life and fire safety and will be able to pass on the knowledge to their loved ones.

They may also consider careers in the field.

Thanks to Shambaugh and their wonderful, dedicated volunteers.
