Members of our fire department took a class with Heath. The educational opportunity was great and was the first time most of us were able to put hands on fire suppression equipment in a training environment, and we all have 15 plus years in the fire service. I would recommend this class for anyone in the fire service, looking to improve.

I was almost in a car accident because one of your drivers decided to cut me off while I was getting into the turn lane on E Broad St by Dairy Queen, they used NO turn signal, just quickly hopped in front of me and cut me off. I had to slam on my breaks as hard as possible and slam on my horn to notify them that they almost hit me. Then they proceeded to drive recklessly down the road. I’m appalled and honestly shaken up. I should’ve gotten the license plate number but my main concern was making it home safely as I was genuinely scared.

Response from the owner:Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are truly sorry for the experience you described. We take safety very seriously, and we understand how frightening that situation must have been. Please accept our sincere apologies for the distress this caused.

So we can investigate this thoroughly, would you be willing to share the date and approximate time of the incident? Any additional details you’re able to provide would be helpful. Our priority is to address this internally and ensure this type of behavior does not happen again.

Thank you for letting us know, and we’re very sorry this occurred.
