Happy to hear nobody injured and here’s hoping this a minor setback. Our community needs small businesses like this one. These guys are great local boys. Thanks PEC FF!
These guys are great local boys who know their stuff, and know how to treat their customers! I can’t work on my own vehicles anymore, so I trust Steve and Tony for above quality work and reasonable cost. I hope they get back up and running soon.
PEC fire crews did indeed have a busy week – thank you.
So thankful nobody was hurt.
