8 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. Jackson admits that he is a bit flattered to have gotten the job to install the much- needed fire suppression systems on the island. It is his hope that this not only serves as an example of the excellent work that his company can do, but also a bit of an adventure for him and his crew as they spend weeks in paradise to complete the project. “What do they say? Location, location, location,” quips Jackson. “This will by far be the nicest location we have had an opportunity to work in. Having said that it is my goal to show the value of installing fire suppression systems—even if you are surrounded by water, what happened here in 2011 shows that there is a very real need for it.” Just last year, Hurricane Irma, a category 5 hurricane, made landfall on Necker Island destroying most of the island. Branson is working to restore the island back to its glory which will begin with a few cosmetic proj- ects and needed systems like alarm, sprinkler and fire protection. MEMBERS GO INTERNATIONAL “Fire suppression systems are like insurance, you never realize you need it until you actually need it. I am excited to give this new structure the needed peace of mind and protection it deserves.” BEFORE HURRICANE AFTER HURRICANE
