Patriot General Engineering

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at Patriot General!

At Patriot General Engineering, Inc., we’re committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our crews and partners. With this post, we would like to focus on awareness and prevention of Valley Fever, a serious lung infection found in California’s soil.

👷 For construction workers: wet down soil, use enclosed heavy equipment, wear N95s.
🔥 For firefighters: stay upwind, wear respirators, rotate crews.

👉 Recognize symptoms early and get medical care if needed.
