Fire Research Home Day On April 18, 2006, from 8:30 - 11:30 AM Fire Research Corporation hosted our Home Day event starting off with a breakfast reception. During the morning reception, Jack McLoughlin(President -FRC) gave the welcome speech and an overview to all the guests on the background of FRC ( size, number of employees, and how FRC supports the First Responders with the products we make & design) and show the importance of FRC within the fire and emergency business. After introducing the FRC staff, we invited everyone on a plant tour of our facilities to give them a first hand look at the products and support that FRC provides the fire & emergency industry. Representatives from many of the surrounding cities Fire & Police departments were in attendance along with: Congressman Tim Bishop U.S. Congress Joan B. Johnson Town Clerk - Town of Islip Senator John J. Flanagan New York State Senate The response and input from everyone in attendance was very positive towards the service and products that FRC provides for the Fire & Emergency Service. We also learned a great deal about the importance of having our government representation understand what FRC does to support our First Responders and that we need to work together to continue to provide this support in the future. FRC is already planning for next years Home Day event !
