Way to go Zack!! Tis’ true, not all heroes wear capes 🥰 some drive big red trucks 🙌🫶🏻👍 and work hard for Siegmund Excavation & Construction Inc.

While hauling a 522 Masticator near Dorena Lake, Siegmund employee Zack Green came upon a roadside fire that had begun spreading into nearby vegetation.

Using the fire extinguisher and fire ax carried with his equipment, Zack helped knock down flames, create defensible space, and monitor for flare-ups until emergency responders arrived.

We appreciate Zack’s quick thinking and willingness to help, and we’re grateful to the firefighters and emergency personnel who responded to the scene.

A great example of preparedness, teamwork, and commitment to the communities where we live and work.
