GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colorado – December 21, 2021 – First Onsite Property Restoration (First Onsite), one of North America’s largest disaster recovery and restoration providers for commercial enterprises, has acquired Emergency Fire & Water Restoration (EFWR), a Milwaukee-based fire and water restoration, mitigation and reconstruction service provider.

Our approach is very similar to First Onsite’s; we partner with our clients and do whatever it takes to get the job done.”
“The alignment of company values, customer service, and leadership couldn’t be more perfect with EFWR,” stated Stacy Mazur, First Onsite CEO, U.S. “Adding EFWR to our existing operations in Milwaukee brings a more robust team to the region.”
“We are excited to have EFWR join First Onsite. As former competitors, we know them well and look forward to helping serve the strong client base they have established in the past 12 years as well as partnering with them on new projects,” stated David Heitman Regional Vice President. “Michael and his team of professionals have a solid reputation with their clients on the commercial and residential side.”
