Firehouse History
The evolution began in 1989 when the brothers Tim and Terry Corman bought a professional photography lab. Firehouse retained what pro photography business it could and aggressively targeted commercial clients. And the Cormans purchased their first Macintosh computer (and Photoshop v.1) in 1990. Tim Corman left to pursue other business interests and Terry's wife Sally came on board. Firehouse survived a fire and a flood and continued to grow. The one Macintosh grew to many and a digital imaging department was born. The business shifted from a commercial photo lab into a digital imaging powerhouse. Darkrooms were replaced with workstations and traditional photographic services gave way to digital photo printers. Small-format work was replaced with wide-format, retail printing.
Firehouse evolved into a leading provider for commercial graphics and we broadened our scope to not just regional, but national commercial accounts. Our culture of constant innovation and reputation for quality products allowed us to build lasting relationships with several partners.
We look to the real heroes in the world for inspiration - firefighters. Doctors. Those in the military protecting us.
While our daily tasks never come to close to theirs, we attempt to help our customers with the same mindset. Our never-ending goal is to assist our customers in whatever challenges they face.
That is our vow.
We appreciate the honor of serving you.
