AvantGuard Utah Central Station Operator Jessica Ropolleto is drawing heavy praise from both Owyhee County Idaho Fire officials and School District officials for her expert response to a fire alarm from a burning school in Grandview Idaho.

Jessica, who has been with AvantGuard for a mere two weeks, and is currently enrolled in AvantGuard’s Supervised Training Program received the fire alarm from the Grandview Idaho school at 12:02pm. Jessica, under the watchful eye of her trainer Teresa Bernabe, coordinated a response from the Fire Department, as well as school officials.

Because of Jessica’s quick and accurate response to the fire alarm signal, school officials were able to evacuate all of the students quickly, and the fire department was able to contain the fire to the kitchen area of the school. There were no injuries, and damage to the school was minimal.

According to Teresa Bernabe, AvantGuard’s Director of Training “Jessica is doing an incredible job in her training as a Central Station Operator. She takes her training very seriously. She is very focused on learning her important position and obviously cares a lot about our customers.”

All of us here at AvantGuard would like to recognize both Jessica, and Teresa for the role they played in preventing this fire, and the great jobs they do everyday for AvantGuard’s Dealers, and their customers. Great job ladies!
