Strategic Planning and Resource Mobilization

While the PuroClean Canada team waited for the Alberta fire to subside, they planned how to use resources effectively. Chairman & CEO Mark W. Davis, Vice-Chairman Frank Torre, and President Jason Reis led the effort. The first step was transporting the 53-foot PuroClean command trailer from Detroit to the Canadian Distribution Center. It was then stocked and prepared for use.

Coordinating the Response Efforts

From there, the plan of attack went as followed:

1. A three-person liaison team traveled to Fort McMurray to assess infrastructure needs.
2. The Financial Planning and Logistics, Field Operations, Business Development, and Client Services divisions assessed and applied resources.
3. The Alberta operations mobilized.
4. After the Alberta team had provided all of the equipment, supplies, and technicians they could, PuroClean teams from across Canada traveled to Fort McMurray to assist. When allowing workers in to help with fire cleanup and restoration of the city, the local government gave priority to Alberta residents. PuroClean abided by this and sent Alberta residents in first.

Handling Logistical Challenges

One of the biggest logistical challenges PuroClean Canada faced while cleaning the aftermath of the Fort McMurray fires was lodging. Local government personnel took over habitable hotels, but PuroClean needed to find housing for 125 technicians and managers. Instead of using the costly option of oil industry work camps, PuroClean Canada partnered with friends of Edmonton North franchise owner Carol Parsons. They secured 25 apartments in the least-affected part of the city for their employees. Additionally, they fully furnished the apartments and supplied them with food, high-speed internet, recreation equipment, and more.
