Firehouse Construction is celebrating its new business launch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Friday, Nov. 7, according to a news release from the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce.
Owner Bryan Porter selected the Centralia’s Tiger Stadium concession stand as the event’s location, since it’s where his company recently donated repair services, the release stated. The stadium is located at 2526 Mt. Vista Road, Centralia, and the ceremony will take place at the concession stand.
Firehouse Construction provides a range of residential and commercial services, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, decks, home additions, electrical, plumbing and other home improvement projects.
Porter’s experience includes work as a residential and commercial framer, electrical supervisor and maintenance specialist for the Washington state Department of Transportation, and lead technician for Lewis County Maintenance, according to the release.
“I’ve always wanted to own my own business,” Porter, a lifetime Lewis County resident and Centralia High School graduate, said. “Circumstances aligned allowing me to finally pursue this dream.”
In addition to running his business, Porter volunteers as a firefighter for Lewis County Fire District 8 in Salkum, which serves the Onalaska area. His passion for firefighting inspired the company’s name, Firehouse Construction, and even the logo’s mascot, which is modeled after his Great Dane, Fish, the release stated.
The Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce celebrates local business milestones such as grand openings, expansions and new ownership. Chamber membership is not required to participate, and the public is invited to join in celebrating these community events.
