| 2009-06-08 | Jason | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you; the questionare wasnt answering properly it wasnt saying submitting so i kept on asking, my apoligizes |
| 2009-03-12 | Cheyenne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Mr. Billington, You mentioned not only the fire issue but also touched on something I had not thought of, criminal activity. Just last year I had a man contact me at the main office saying he was locked out of his suite (after 5 pm mind you) and he needed me to open it so he could retrieve his keys and go home. If I hadn't verified that with the lease signer of that suite, I wouldn't have found out that the man's wife had locked herself in that suite because she was filing for divorce and he was trying to harm her. I'm sure the police got an interesting story from him. As you see, safety is very important to me and the tenants in my care. Thank you again for your help!! |
| 2009-03-05 | Mohamed | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I actually thought I pointed to 7 not 1 as I was thinking of the follow-up question more than the scoring and it just slipped, am so sorry it wasn't intentional. Let me know if there is anything I can do to amend it. Once again sorry for the inconvenience, it was just a mistake, truly I thought I gave 7, I had no idea until I saw your e-mail. |
| 2008-12-17 | Brad | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for the follow-up response, Mr. Billington. You've been an incredible help, and I greatly appreciate the time you took to share your expertise. |

| 2008-04-02 | Cathy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Mr. Billington, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful response. I was very pleased by the thoroughness of it as well--addressing all of my points along the way as well as my main question. I am nominating you for Volunteer of the Month for all those reasons, plus the fact that you were very kind in the tone of your response. You spoke to me as one parent to another as well as giving me advice based on your expertise. I also appreciate the fairness of your response based on not hearing my husband's side of the story. I will be very comfortable sharing your answer with him. Thank you again for wonderful work you do! Cathy |

Expertise
Let me help you determine the most effective place to install your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and other home fire safety equipment. I can give you tips on home fire and safety inspection. So often the poor placement and care of life safety tools results in loss of life and property that could so easily be avoided. As a firefighter since 1993, I am intimately familiar with fire behavior, and steps you can take to protect yourself and your family.
Experience
I have been in firefighting since 1993. I determined to become a firefighter at the age of 11, and achieved that goal. But God and my family come first.
