Crescent honored by the City of Houston
Crescent Realty Day - The high-rise fire simulation is a premier training platform that seeks to provide joint training of firefighters and building management. This cooperative process provides a progressive real-world training method that benefits both the private and public safety communities. A partnership between Crescent Real Estate and the Houston Fire Department (HFD), has resulted in the completion of twelve high-rise fire simulations, and the successful training of more than 700 firefighters. The addition of the Houston Chapter of the Houston Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) further strengthens this strategic partnership between the Houston Fire Department and the high-rise commercial building community.
Chuck Hutchinson, Senior Security Manager for Crescent, spearheaded this partnership effort and brought all of the pieces together. Crescent Real Estate also made a very generous donation to HFD of much needed equipment for their training exercises.
The City of Houston salutes Crescent Realty for its role in this important partnership, and extends best wishes for continued success and cooperation.
Therefore, I, Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston, herby proclaim November 15, 2006, as Crescent Realty Day in Houston Texas.
