Heartland Security Provide Security for One Lucky Extreme Family

Albert Lea, Minnesota (Oct. 1, 2008) - Heartland Security of Melrose, Minnesota, along with Cooperative Response Center, Inc. (CRC) of Austin, Minnesota, was pleased to announce their sponsorship of a project featured on ABC’s hit television show Extreme Home Makeover. The Extreme Home Makeover team rolled into Albert Lea, Minnesota, September 30 to build an extreme home for the DeVries family in the Albert Lea community. Larson Contracting of Albert Lea was the contractor for the project. Heartland Security was committed to make this family’s new home a safe place to live and call home now, and in the future.

Heartland Security donated an electronic home security system and installation for the family. The security system installed included intrusion and fire protection. Heartland Security’s technicians, Rod Elbert and Alan Schmitt, installed the system as the new home was being built in record time. The state of the art system was manufactured by GE Security.

CRC donated FirstCall® security monitoring to the family through CRC’s Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified Central Station in Austin, Minnesota.

“Heartland Security is excited to have the opportunity to give back to the community through the Extreme Home Makeover project,” says Guy Adams, General Manager. “Providing this deserving family the peace of mind that a security system offers will help make their new home very comforting” he adds.
