Owen Fields and Marino Torres Recognized as May Safety Award Recipients

ROCK ISLAND, IL - Crawford Company recognizes Owen Fields and Marino Torres as the May Safety Award recipients. Owen and Marino were nominated for this award because of their quick action while performing HVAC service in a commercial building. While onsite the men noticed a burning smell coming from an electrical room. They gained access to the room and discovered heavy smoke. They immediately notified the primary contact onsite and the local fire department. Upon arrival the fire department found a small mulch fire around the building's primary transformers which they were able to extinguish. Because of their willingness to act Owen and Marino were able to prevent a much larger incident. Owen is a HVACR apprentice in our HVAC Service Division. He has been with the company for four years.
