Today, the staff of 1-800-BoardUp of Omaha Metro and BELFOR Property Restoration of Omaha pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who lost their lives on September 11, twenty-four years ago.

We are sharing a powerful post from the International Association of Fire Fighters that speaks to the incredible legacy of the heroes we lost that day. Their spirit of public service lives on through the family members who have since become firefighters, carrying the torch of courage and dedication.

Be safe and NEVER FORGET!

Inspired by their parents’ legacy, a new generation of IAFF members are answering the call in New York City.

Our team members deal with the aftermath of various emergencies on a daily basis, recently our team members at 1-800-BoardUp of Omaha Metro Area and
BELFOR Property Restoration of Omaha were faced with two separate, life-or-death situations that hit close to home.

In less than a three week period, three of our team members had to put their weekly safety training to the ultimate test.

In both incidents, our crews were the first on the scene, performing hands-only CPR on someone who had collapsed until first responders arrived.

Sadly, despite the heroic efforts of our team members, neither person survived. We want to take a moment to honor and recognize these team members for their selfless and commendable actions. They asked not to be named, but their dedication to helping others—on and off the job—is a true inspiration.

These two events are a powerful reminder that you never know when someone might need your help. We urge you to take a CPR class through your local American Red Cross Chapter or the American Heart Association. The life you save might be a stranger's, a friend's or even a loved one's.

On Saturday, August 9th, 1-800-BoardUp of Omaha Metro Area responded to the Blair area after severe early morning thunderstorms caused widespread damage in Washington and Douglas counties.

Our team, including our Director of Emergency Services, a loss consultant, and our on-call board-up crew, was dispatched after a request came in through the dispatch center. We staged at a Blair Volunteer Fire & Rescue while our team assessed damages and assisted residents with requests for our services.

The storm caused significant damage to homes and businesses from wind, water, and fallen trees. We were also made aware of reports of individuals trapped in vehicles and campers at two separate campgrounds due to fallen trees, which tragically resulted in one fatality. One campground was in Washington and the other in Douglas County.

In addition to providing services like covering damaged roofs for residents, our team worked with the American Red Cross Serving Nebraska and Southwest Iowa to provide updates to them on damage assessments and help needed by displaced residents from a manufactured home community.

After almost 13 hours on the scene, our crews returned home. We are proud to have been able to serve the communities affected by this severe weather event.

What a night with the Blair Volunteer Fire & Rescue ! Our 1-800-BoardUp of Omaha Metro Area Director of Emergency Services, who was there for a return visit, got a front-row seat to their incredible work.

Right as our meeting on victim assistance and the services we provide was about to begin, they were toned out for a fire. Luckily, it was an outside fire, quickly mitigated with no structures threatened. The team handled it with amazing efficiency!

Once everyone returned, the presentation continued. We also got to talk about our national partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network and the local Firefighter Cancer Support Network, Nebraska , an organization we're proud to support.






It was a great night, and we're so grateful to the fine men and women of Blair Fire and Rescue for their time and dedication. We left them with some flyers, posters, and signs, and we're looking forward to our next visit!
