If there’s one thing that Chris Gantz and the FireZone team understand very well, it’s the importance of fire safety education, enriching imaginations and being a positive force within the community. With combined firefighting experience of over 20 years, Chris came up with a unique way to explore the world of firefighting in a fun yet educational adventure. Chris and his team come from all areas of the fire service including Firefighting, EMS, HazMat, Technical Rescue, Disaster Response and Urban Search & Rescue.
Chris recognized that the party industry was booming, but that there were few party options built on an educational foundation and nothing related to firefighting. As a result, Chris and his team have made it their business to provide memorable parties and events, while at the same time teaching the fundamentals of fire safety and team building. The current business is the Big Red Fun, Inc., a successful firefighting-themed experience company in Chicago.
The FireZone is the brick & mortar facility that evolved in 2006 in Glenview, Illinois from Chris’s successful mobile operation. The FireZone is currently a 7000sqft firefighting-themed events facility located in Schaumburg, IL. The FireZone was originally designed as a kids facility with FireZone Team Building & Events taking everything from the FireZone and making it bigger and better to create a one-of-a-kind team building program for teens and adults.
The philosophy of the company is to ensure that everyone in the FireZone team is successful in their endeavors while at the same time ensuring that they maintain a positive presence in the community.
