Enhancing Fire Safety: Solomon Safety Builds a Private Fire Department in Tchula, Mississippi
In September of 2019, a chance conversation between a friend of Solomon Safety and the Mayor of Tchula, Mississippi, General Vann, sparked the beginning of an extraordinary project. Recognizing the community’s pressing need for a suitable fire station, the friend shared the success story of Solomon Safety’s partnership with an underserved community in Tennessee. Inspired by the possibilities, Mayor Vann wasted no time reaching out to James Wessel, the president of Solomon Safety. What followed was a remarkable journey that resulted in the creation of a brand new fire station for Tchula.
A Vision Becomes Reality: “The community is thrilled and very proud of the new fire station. We went from parking our fire trucks in a 100-year-old building to having a fully functional fire station,” Mayor Vann expressed his excitement. The transformation was not limited to a mere upgrade in infrastructure; the new fire station also paved the way for the introduction of a 24/7 ambulance service, further enhancing emergency response capabilities in Tchula.
Building on Trust and Integrity: Mayor Vann had heard of James Wessel’s reputation as a Christian man who conducted business with integrity. This firsthand experience with Solomon Safety confirmed the mayor’s belief in Mr. Wessel’s character. At the heart of Solomon Safety’s mission lies a genuine desire to serve communities by providing adequate fire protection services. From the initial conversation, Mr. Wessel was already contemplating the process and exploring options to make the construction of a new fire station a reality for Tchula.
From Inception to Completion: Thanks to the swift action and collaboration between Mayor Vann and Solomon Safety, the project commenced without delay. The entire process, from the initial phone call in September 2019 to the completion of the new fire station, was remarkably efficient. In April of 2020, Tchula bid farewell to its century-old building and welcomed a state-of-the-art fire station that would play a crucial role in safeguarding the community.
