In anticipation of the approaching hurricane force winds along the eastern coast of the United States, USPA Nationwide Security has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety and security of the Charlotte community. Deploying a team of 100 highly trained fire watch guards, USPA aims to handle potential fire suppression system failures that may arise from the storm. In addition, Brian Fitzgibbons, USPA’s Director of Fire Watch, has arrived at the mobile command center in Charlotte to streamline and enhance emergency response services. “The dispatching of 100 fire watch guards underscores USPA’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property during times of crisis. With extensive training and expertise in fire safety, these guards will play a crucial role in protecting the community from potential fire-related hazards resulting from the hurricane force winds” said Dan Manning, USPA’s CEO.
Brian Fitzgibbons, a seasoned professional in fire suppression system management, brings his wealth of experience to the mobile command center in Charlotte. His arrival signifies USPA’s dedication to providing efficient emergency response services and ensuring a seamless coordination of efforts on the ground. Fitzgibbons’ leadership will be instrumental in optimizing the deployment and efficiency of fire watch guards, guaranteeing swift and effective action in any fire-related emergencies. During extreme weather events such as hurricanes, fire suppression systems can experience failures due to power disruptions, flooding, and other related issues. These failures leave communities vulnerable to the devastating consequences of uncontrolled fires. It is in recognition of this threat that USPA Nationwide Security has acted proactively, dispatching a significant number of fire watch guards to Charlotte. Their primary responsibility will be to monitor and patrol the affected areas continuously, promptly detecting any fire-related risks and ensuring immediate response and action.
The Storm
In the eastern United States, a severe weather outbreak is expected to unleash damaging wind gusts, hail, drenching rainfall and even a few tornadoes on Monday. Around 120 million people in the Eastern US may be affected by damaging weather Monday and Monday night as a powerful storm system crosses the region. It is the first Level 4 issued in the US since June 29, and the first for Washington D.C. in over a decade. If warnings are issued, people living or working in the area should have a plan in place for taking shelter. As storms roar to life Monday afternoon, a more confined corridor from western Virginia to far southern Pennsylvania will be at greatest risk for widespread, potentially destructive winds. The corridor is home to more than 13 million people, including major population centers such as Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. In the strongest storms, wind gusts can reach speeds of 60 to 80 mph. Wind gusts at the upper end of this range can cause significant damage and are equivalent to hurricane-force winds. The most prevalent impact from Alabama and Georgia northward into New York and New Jersey will also be damaging winds. Atlanta and Philadelphia are two major cities at risk. It is possible for strong winds to damage property, snap tree branches, and bring down power lines.
USPA Nationwide Security has always been at the forefront of emergency response services, prioritizing the safety and security of communities in times of crisis. By deploying fire watch guards in Charlotte, the company demonstrates its unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property during this impending storm. The presence of Brian Fitzgibbons further reinforces USPA’s dedication to delivering the highest quality emergency response services, ensuring that fire suppression system failures are promptly identified and effectively managed. As the hurricane force winds approach the eastern coast, USPA Nationwide Security stands ready to provide the necessary support and protection to the Charlotte community. Through their prompt actions and the expertise of Brian Fitzgibbons, USPA is well-equipped to handle any fire-related emergencies that may arise, minimizing potential damage and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents.
