In December 2022, Security Professional Tamara was on duty at a client site in Lynchburg, Virginia, when she smelled smoke. Upon further inspection of the area, she discovered smoke and fire coming from a mechanical device. Without hesitation, she grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire before it could trigger the building's sprinkler systems. Then, she called 911 and notified leadership. Tamara's quick actions prevented a catastrophic loss.
