The PuroClean Canada leadership team includes Chairman and CEO Mark W. Davis, Vice-Chairman Frank Torre, and President Jason Reis. While waiting for the fire to end its tear through Alberta, they strategically planned how PuroClean would best use its resources. The first step was to bring the 53-foot command trailer from Detroit to the Canadian Distribution Center for preparation.

From there, the plan of attack went as follows:

1. A three-person liaison team travelled 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 the equipment, supplies, and technicians they could, PuroClean teams across Canada travelled to Fort McMurray to assist. When allowing workers to help with fire cleanup and restoration of the city, the local government prioritized Alberta residents. PuroClean abided by this and sent Alberta residents in first.

Communicating with Insurance Providers

Everything from the strategic plan to attack the devastation to infrastructure and employee lodging was coordinated. In the meantime, the team was also planning which insurance carriers they would reach out to and in what order. PuroClean guaranteed favourable prices for its franchise owners when communicating with insurance providers. At the same time, they kept the grief-stricken community in mind.

Because residents of Fort McMurray were not allowed back into their homes for three to six months, PuroClean first focused on commercial jobs. The team’s first job was for one of the city’s largest restaurants, The Wood Buffalo Brewing Company. The job was secured through Travelers Insurance.

Furthermore, Signal Restoration Services, a leader in large loss property damage restoration and partner of PuroClean provided a great deal of help. They guided the local franchise owners on how to handle large commercial jobs such as the one at The Wood Buffalo Brewing Company.

Overcoming the Logistical Challenges

Finally, one of the biggest logistical challenges PuroClean Canada faced while cleaning the aftermath of the Fort McMurray fires was lodging. The local government personnel took over habitable hotels. However, PuroClean needed to house its group of 125 technicians and managers.

PuroClean Canada worked with friends of Edmonton North franchise owner, Carol Parsons, to house employees in 25 apartments in the least-affected part of the city. The alternative was a costly option that most other restoration and insurance companies choose. That includes having staff stay at oil industry work camps. The apartments were fully furnished and supplied with food, high-speed internet, recreation equipment, and more.
