Wearing full personal protective equipment, workers cleaned and disinfected emergency vehicles as well as Woodland Hills ambulances.

“We work in conjunction with them a lot. They help us, we help them; so it was the right thing to do. It’s also helping our employees,” Beth Pedder, sales project manager for ServiceMaster said.

Even though the service is free, the company is paying its employees so they get a salary during this difficult time.

After cleaning the vehicles for free, they’ll move on and clean the building at a discounted rate.
