Growing Pavement and Parking Lot Maintenance Franchisor Makes Timely Expansion in Southwest

http://www.firemans-contractors.com/

FORT WORTH, TX--(Marketwire - Dec 4, 2012) - A new Firemans Contractors, Inc. ( OTCQB :
FRCN ) franchise is opening in Texas, the company announced today. The new business adds to
Firemans' growing brand as a model of integrity and reliability in the pavement and parking lot
marking and maintenance industry.

Renee Gilmore, chief executive officer of Firemans Contractors, said Jeremy and Melissa Ellis of
North, Texas, purchased the franchise for Firemans Station 2, the latest independent entrepreneurs
to take advantage of Firemans' relatively low startup cost and reputation for high-quality service.

Jeremy Ellis, a father of two with twelve years of experience owning and operating successful small
business ventures, said, "We have been praying for an opportunity like this; it's something we are
proud to be a part of. The most attractive part of this franchise for us is all the support and training
we get and the ability to tap into a proven system."

A Good Time to Enter a Recession-Resistant Business
"We applaud their timing and entrepreneurial spirit," said CEO Gilmore. "This is a good time for this
recession-resistant business. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis are entering the pavement and parking lot
maintenance business as governments and businesses are turning their attention to needed
highway and parking lot improvements."

Gilmore added, "Our first franchise, Firemans Station 1, opened in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
in July, and within just two months of operation had earned more than three-fourths of the
franchise cost."

"The new franchise owners will have the benefit of Firemans' trusted brand and operating system, a
training program, and the support of the experienced Firemans team," said Gilmore.

Firemans Station 2 began its operations this month in North Texas with a ribbon-cutting ceremony
to occur mid January, said Gilmore. The contract was official on Nov. 28.
