ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- World Wide Technology, Inc. (WWT), a market-leading systems integrator that provides innovative technology and supply chain solutions, today announced it has been honored for its support of the Maryland Heights Fire Protection District and the St. Louis Metropolitan Urban Search and Rescue System. WWT has generously provided warehousing space and logistical services at no cost to both organizations for several years, helping them to protect valuable assets, better respond in times of emergency, and support continual training efforts.
“We are honored to be able to aid and support our brave first responders in protecting our surrounding communities,” said WWT’s co-founder and chairman David L. Steward. “We fully intend to continue this partnership for as long as we can.”
The Maryland Heights Fire Protection District and St. Louis Metropolitan Urban Search and Rescue System hosted a special ceremony for WWT to express their appreciation for WWT’s support and contributions, during which Chief Steve Olshwanger and Deputy Chief Steve Rinehart named WWT’s co-founder and chairman David L. Steward as Honorary Chief of the District. Mr. Steward was presented with a white leather fire helmet and gold leaf shield. Justin Reise and Brian Nelson of WWT, who helped to initiate the project, were each presented with a brass fire bell.
Letters of recognition were also given to Steward, Reise and Nelson during the ceremony, which stated, “Mr. Steward committed his support and since has provided the Maryland Heights Fire Protection District and the St. Louis Metropolitan Urban Search and Rescue System with logistical support beyond our expectations. Mr. Steward’s vision of success and leadership extends beyond his organization and reaches to the communities that surround it. Mr. Reise and Mr. Nelson recognized the need for support and acted on it. It is that vision and action that we are here to recognize today.”
The St. Louis Metropolitan Urban Search and Rescue System utilizes the space donated by WWT to maintain vehicles and equipment indoors and out of the elements for faster response times in emergency situations. The Fire Department has 24 x 7 access to the WWT-maintained facility, which is located less than a mile from their station. In addition, WWT has and continues to provide warehouse space for rescue training to both the Maryland Heights Fire and Police Departments.
This partnership with WWT has enabled the Maryland Heights Fire Protection District to have assets “at the ready” for several emergency situations, including the 2011 February snow and ice storm, the Good Friday F4 tornado that hit the immediate Maryland Heights area, and the tragic F5 tornado that hit Joplin last spring.
