A special thank you to the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to keep our communities safe in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, especially our #FireDex and #GearWash Family in North Carolina and Florida. We are incredibly thankful to confirm that all our associates, including those at our newest manufacturing facility in Old Fort, NC, which was hit particularly hard by the storm, are safe and accounted for. We want to extend our thoughts and best wishes to everyone in the path of the storm that have been impacted by this disaster. Please know that we’re standing with you and offering our support as we navigate these challenging times. Stay safe, stay strong, and take care of each other. 📸 Nelson Aerial Productions
