"First Strike Environmental's business is 'crisis response' until the crisis became our own. On August 24, 2003, we lost eight of our employees returning home from assignment in a terrible motor vehicle accident. The media, the families, our employees and our own feelings were all brought to the highest levels. Without our crisis plan and the professional expertise of Leslie Habetler and her staff, our company would not have survived this loss. Prepare your company for the unexpected."

Robert Krueger, President
First Strike Environmental

"Thanks! You did a great job and truly helped this company...Everyone was very pleased and felt we are 100% better prepared to handle an incident than we were yesterday. We were all pretty amazed with the scenario - it was very creative, realistic and thought provoking."


Ed Waggoner, Chief of Operations
NorthTree Fire International

"On June 21, 2002 our Firm had faced our worst nightmare, a traffic accident resulting in five firefighter fatalities. We were not prepared for the media blitz that occurred afterwards. Leslie came on early and effectively helped deal with the media. Her services allowed us time to deal with grieving and other situations that arrived out of a crisis of this magnitude. Her expertise in dealing with media helped us immensely. I would highly recommend her service to anyone."

Michael D. Wheelock
President, Grayback Forestry, Inc
