Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

December 27, 2011- Suwanee, GA- EMC Security began a holiday tradition this year of collecting toys for the U.S. Marine’s Toys for Tots program of North Atlanta.  Despite this year’s economic challenges, customers and employees of the locally owned security company collected over 200 unwrapped toys to donate to needy families this holiday season.

Some customers who made donations have said they found it easier to drop off at the EMC Security corporate office in Suwanee, Georgia than at busy local restaurants and retail stores.  “We are so proud of the generosity of our customers and employees through these ongoing difficult economic times,” says Vince Raia, President of EMC Security. “The donations started off strong and continued throughout the entire collection dates.  We want to give a special thanks to all our customers, especially those who drove from outside their normal areas to donate big bags of toys to these special children.   We are so happy with the amount of donations made.”  EMC Security customers came from all over the Metro Atlanta counties including Gwinnett, North Fulton, Dekalb, Forsyth, Barrow, and also Cobb County to donate these toys.  This was EMC Security’s first ever Toy Drive and will be an annual event for years to come.

Fire Protection Saves EMC Security Customer’s Home

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

On September 27th, the EMC Security monitoring center in Suwanee, Georgia received a fire alarm at 9:39am from the home of a customer located in Smyrna, Georgia. The monitoring center immediately contacted the customer and dispatched the fire department to the house.  The monitoring center received an update at 10:21am that there had indeed been a fire at the customer’s home.  The fire was under control and the fire department was opening windows and doors to ventilate the house.  The customer was on site with the fire department at that time and no one was injured.

Fortunately, no one was hurt and fire protection was included in this Smyrna customer’s home security system, which is likely what  prevented the home from completely burning down.  This actual customer story is a prime example of why it one should consider including fire protection as a part of their home security system to help protect their home and their lives.
