Business Wire
STREICHER MOBILE FUELING, INC. (NASDAQ: FUEL and FUELW) (the
"Company"), a leading provider of petroleum product distribution
services, transportation logistics and emergency response services
to the trucking, construction, utility, energy, chemical,
manufacturing and government service industries today announced
that it has mobilized equipment and personnel in an immediate
response to Hurricane Wilma which devastated South Florida on
Monday, October 24, 2005. Richard E. Gathright, President and CEO
commented, "Hurricane Wilma which swept across South Florida on
Monday has disrupted the lives of millions of people and the
operations of thousands of businesses across the region. Our
sympathies go out to those impacted by this storm, including many
of our own personnel. While Broward County and Fort Lauderdale, our
corporate home, were especially hard hit by the hurricane, the
Company's equipment and facilities, including our corporate
offices, were not physically damaged, and we are operating at full
capacity to meet the needs of our customers, and emergency service
providers throughout the affected region." "We have relocated
additional equipment and personnel from other Company locations to
support our relief operations in South Florida which are expected
to continue for many weeks. At the same time, we are continuing to
support the Hurricane Katrina and Rita restoration work in
Louisiana and Texas. The Company's acquisitions of Shank Services
earlier this year and H & W Petroleum this month have enhanced
our ability to provide storm relief and restoration support,
regionally and nationally. Experienced Shank Services personnel are
on the ground in South Florida with specialized fueling equipment
while its heavy haul units are being used to ferry fuel tanks and
other equipment to the devastated areas. H & W's transports are
providing the Company additional capacity to move to South Florida
fuel supplies which are not currently available from Port
Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale." As we saw last year when four
hurricanes hit various parts of Florida, and again this year with
Dennis, Katrina and Rita along the Gulf Coast, our personnel have
again stepped up to the challenge of keeping critical fuel
deliveries moving. For 22 years, we have provided storm response
services, starting in our own backyard. Whether Hurricane Andrew in
1992 or Wilma, this week, we remain committed to providing the
highest level of support possible in these relief efforts while
delivering to our customers the service they need and expect."
