How We Got Started in the Flagpole Business
In 1996 a flag was hung up at the top of the Lincoln Tower on the decorative at 60’ pole. The trick was that the pole was on the top of one of the tallest buildings in Fort. Wayne, Indiana.
To get to the pole you’d have to open a hatch on the dome of the roof, lasso the pole, tie off and use ascenders. JHH was the second call, the first was to a high angle rescue team and they said to call John Hamrick, “He can do it.”
This was to be our first flagpole climb and the beginning of servicing flagpoles and communication towers.
