SF Fire Department Using Schlage Property for Rescue and High-Rise Training

Brownfield Partners Donates Use of Site; Every Company in Fire 
Department Participates in Hands-On Training

BUSINESS WIRE
June 11, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO--With demolition continuing at the former Schlage Lock 
property in San Francisco, Brownfield Partners, the Denver-based urban 
in-fill developer and transaction partner managing the clean-up, has 
donated the use of the property to the San Francisco Fire Department 
(SFFD) for training exercises.

For over two months, the blighted site near U.S. 101 and Candlestick 
Park has been used for SFFD's intense rescue, evacuation and high-rise 
drills. The property is the only facility within San Francisco's city 
limits currently suitable for SFFD's hands-on rescue and high-rise 
training. When the demolition is finished, every Fire company will have 
completed training on the site; with over 425 firefighters participating 
in drills.

"Our ability to constantly train and educate our firefighters means we 
are better able to serve San Francisco's residents, workers and 
visitors," said Chief of Department Joanne Hayes-White at an on-site 
demonstration today. "This hands-on training opportunity would not have 
been possible without Brownfield Partners' very generous donation."
