Mayor Thomas Moses: SERVPRO "Stepped Up to the Plate" With COVID-19 Response

Thank you, Mayor Moses!

When COVID-19 lockdowns first started going into effect in New York State, many people found themselves working from home more or less overnight.

Quarantining at home, however, was never an option for our first responders. While many of us were able to hunker down at our houses, our first responders still had a duty to go out into the community and keep us safe.

At SERVPRO of The Southtowns, we felt an obligation to do our part, give back, and keep our first responders safe as well. So we volunteered our time to disinfect every police station, fire department and EMS agency that would have us, including the agencies right here in the Village of Hamburg.

Months later, we interviewed the village’s mayor, Thomas Moses, about his leadership throughout the pandemic. He was kind enough to remember our work with the first responder agencies and thank us. Here’s what he said:

“I want to thank SERVPRO for stepping up to the plate in the beginning stages. It was two or three days after we got underway [with implementing COVID-19 regulations] and you called us and said ‘can we do anything for you in regards to disinfecting?’

We said ‘yes, we would appreciate that.’ You stepped up to our plate, took care of the Village of Hamburg Fire Department. We have 10 or 11 pieces of equipment, you came in, you sanitized all of that, and all the trucks. Our police department, you did all the cars. To this day, now, we disinfect after every call.”

On behalf of SERVPRO of The Southtowns: thank you, Mayor Moses, for your leadership and your kind words! We’re happy that we could help in a trying and confusing time.
