Fire Dawgs gave me a good price for removal of a fridge and were able to schedule me quickly at a time that was convenient for me. Ethan and Doug came today and removed a wine fridge that we no longer wanted. They were fast and efficient and most of all they thought they could re-home the fridge rather than take it…

Fire Dawgs gave me a good price for removal of a fridge and were able to schedule me quickly at a time that was convenient for me. Ethan and Doug came today and removed a wine fridge that we no longer wanted. They were fast and efficient and most of all they thought they could re-home the fridge rather than take it to the landfill. I greatly appreciated this rehoming!
