  • Tenant Testimonial

    The Donaldson Center Fire Department is a big key in locating a facility that has a lot of flammable material. We are very safe and conscientious, but having the top-rated fire department in the state really puts a plus to locating here. The Donaldson Center Fire Department provides us with a lot of other services as far as training for hazardous material handling and fire prevention.
