B & B Welding Company Fire
Date: February 8, 1989

On February 8, 1989 an early morning fire destroyed the building and office contents of B&B Welding Company., Inc.

As the news media questioned the status of our extensive computer system I realized the diskettes were stored nightly in the fire files.

Late in the day a fire inspector appeared at the scene. I confronted him concerning the files and he very carefully accompanied me into the burned premises. There amid the rubble stood our two Schwab files, their once shining black enamel finish was now blistered and buckled from the heat. I inserted the key, pulled out the drawers one at a time. The diskettes had not melted, all corporate papers were intact.

"Thank you Schwab you saved our business."

Bank of the Sierra Fire
Date: October 1, 1991

Five fire resistant filing cabinets purchased from your company survived the fire, containing loan documents vital to Bank of the Sierra's survival as well as all the bank's history contained in board minutes dating back to the founding of the Bank. We were certainly glad we had made the investment in these cabinets.

Cole Hardwood Fire
Date: June 13, 1998

On June 13, 1998, Cole Hardwood, Inc. had a horrible fire, and we lost ten buildings, including the office.

We had previously purchased three of the Schwab fire resistant safes, and they were in the upstairs office. These safes fell to the ground, and still survived the fire. We were amazed at the quality of the contents.

I am very impressed that these safes held up under such intense heat. I would highly recommend any business owner to purchase this safe to protect their business records.
