Billboard use in rescue training.

The Fairway Outdoor Advertising GSA branch let firefighters in Asheville, N.C., use one of its billboards for a training exercise. Battalion Chief Barry Hendren wrote GSA branch general manager Terry Graves, ''The joint training event was extremely beneficial to our Technical Rescue Company as it allowed us the opportunity to determine rescue techniques in a controlled environment. The ability to meet with your personnel and learn about the outdoor advertising industry practices was also beneficial to our entire department.''

Headquartered in Augusta, Fairway Outdoor Advertising has branch offices in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Fairway also provides services to clients in Virginia and Alabama.
