Firefighter Launches FDList.com, an Online Directory for Firefighter-Owned Businesses

FDList.com is a new online service directory of businesses run by firemen and firefighters who are also tradesmen. Founder Jonathan McInerney, a firefighter from Lynn, Massachusetts, wanted to provide a space where paid and volunteer firefighters, as well as retired firefighters, could list their trades or businesses in a directory that people could freely access. According to McInerney, “Chances are if you are a firefighter, you may also have a second job. And if you are looking for work to be done, from electrical to web design, it always helps to choose from people you know you can trust.”

FDlist.com’s mission is to create a comprehensive online directory of trusted service providers who also serve their city fire departments. It is an exclusive directory, and listings are generated through department connections. Any listings by non-fire fighters are not currently accepted on the site. FDList.com is open to firefighters who are freelancers and who have side businesses, and it is free to add a listing. An added feature is that listings can link directly to the business website.

FDList.com makes it easy to browse firefighters in your local area and beyond, and under many different service categories. It provides people with the tools they need to find and support the businesses of those first responders who put their lives on the line in the call of duty to serve and protect.
