ITM4G, Fire Protection & Facility Maintenance Expert, Celebrates 10 Years of Excellence, Agility & Consistency
05/08/2025, Sterling, Virginia // PRODIGY: Feature Story //
ITM4G, an expert in fire protection and facility maintenance, celebrates 10+ years of elevating the industry standard with a blend of expertise, precision, and passion. As a CVE-certified, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), the company is committed to providing responsive, cost-effective, high-quality services in the governmental sector. With a broad suite of services, this team of experts' goal is clear: to address every client's needs with nothing short of excellence.
Where ITM4G truly excels is its fire protection offering, which includes but is not limited to Fire Protection Engineering and Design, Building Life Safety, and Facilities Maintenance. From inspection to testing, maintenance, construction, and installation, it ensures safety every step of the way.
Since John Brewster founded the company in 2013, it has gradually grown into a competent team of 50 agile employees. With a focus on the governmental sector, ITM4G primarily works in military bases around the US. Its focus, therefore, lies in serving every facility with flexibility, unparalleled quality, and uncompromised attention.
It's important to note that ITM4G insists every technician is NICET-certified, which is especially crucial when working in military bases. In addition, the company has 4 technicians who are certified NICET Level IV in Fire Protection Systems. 'Just because you know how a certain panel works, doesn't mean you know the code or how to install it,' stresses Brewster. 'To pass the NICET test, professionals are tested on many levels of expertise and have to prove that they have been working in the field for multiple years. It minimizes risks, allows ITM4G to address diverse challenges, and it's just a responsible thing to do.'
Beyond fire protection, ITM4G offers comprehensive facility management solutions, partnering with other businesses when appropriate. Through these collaborations, the company also empowers smaller, especially minority-owned firms, to succeed in the sector. 'It works both ways: when we team up, we can reduce the cost of work, and, at the same time, I'm jumpstarting these businesses by integrating our expertise into their teams,' he adds.
Based in Sterling, Virginia, ITM4G has worked at DoD sites, FEMA, ATF, FAA, and Coast Guard bases across the US and internationally, among others. For over 10 years, it has stood tall in its mission of safeguarding facilities with a fusion of firsthand experiences, extensive knowledge, and the founder's genuine passion. Looking ahead, its hopes aren't to expand tenfold or take over the industry; it's to address the needs of more clients by growing slowly and purposefully, and never compromising its values.
'Fire protection is what I know best. That's why ITM4G is one way I can contribute to helping keep people safe while they're working,' shares Brewster. 'And, as long as the fire protection systems are working like they're supposed to, I can sleep at night with a clear conscience, knowing I've done everything I can to protect the personnel, property, and continuity of operations in the facility.'

Trump's zeal for factory work risks damage to growing segments of economy
President Donald Trump says U.S. factories hollowed out by rapacious foreign competition can produce well-paying new jobs only if they are protected by the highest tariffs since the 1930s. But those trade barriers may damage the larger and faster-growing part of the economy: the services industries that employ more than 80 percent of American workers. Since January, manufacturing payrolls have increased by 6,000 jobs, a fraction of the 470,000 new providers of services such as financial advice, health care and education, who generally escape presidential notice.

Millcreek Township 2024 financial review shows some revenue gains, spending reductions
Millcreek Township performed well financially in 2024, according to a review by township Treasurer Melanne Page. "While the 2023 audit findings presented initial challenges, the finance office has successfully implemented corrective measures," Page said. "And the township has delivered some strong surpluses in 2024, improved the fund balance and established a strong foundation for sustainable fiscal management into the future." Page outlined 2024 revenues and spending for Millcreek supervisors on June 10. The review came after the Millcreek Township Government Study Commission pointed to significant spending from the township's general fund balance in recent years, "late and later" outside audits of township accounts, and accounting issues identified in audits among its reason for recommending a new form of government for the township in May. The audit of 2023 finances was delayed until December 2024 due to substantial work required to "sort it all out," Page said. Page was named treasurer in May 2024, when former treasurer Mark Zaksheske was placed on unpaid administrative leave until July 13, 2025, by terms of a separation agreement with the township. Township officials gave no reason for the decision. "When I came in in 2024, it took quite a while to get through everything and sort it all out. There were some major adjustments and major variances that had to occur during the audit time of 2023," Page said. "Standard practices were not always followed." Improvements implemented last year have corrected accounting errors uncovered in the audit of 2023 accounts, Page said. The township received $4.53 million more in revenues than expected last year, mainly through higher-than-anticipated tax collections and unanticipated grant funds, Page said. And some expenses were lower than anticipated. Almost $22 million spent for employee salaries, benefits and taxes last year was $376,000 less than what had been budgeted. Operating costs were $282,000 less than the approximately $6 million that had been anticipated. The numbers have not been audited but are not expected to change significantly, Page said. The township's general fund balance — its assets minus liabilities — decreased significantly in recent years, by $1.7 million in 2021, $4.9 million in 2022 and $11.1 million in 2023 — or from approximately $35.9 million to $18.4 million. The $11.1 million spent in 2023 included approximately $3 million to cover operating costs not funded by revenues and $8 million for other purposes, including the transfer of more than $7.3 million to the Millcreek Township General Authority for the purchase of West Eighth Street properties targeted for redevelopment. The $8 million also included some fund reductions that resulted from correcting previous over-estimates attributed to accounting errors, Page said. The $18,357,151 general fund balance at the end of 2023 included $14,937,385 reserved for future capital projects. Those capital funds included just over $9 million in proceeds from the 2015 sale of the Millcreek Township Water Authority to Erie Water Works. The remaining $3,419,766 of the general fund balance was unrestricted and available for other uses. Page on June 10 had told supervisors that the $18.4 million fund balance was unrestricted and unreserved and that the water sale proceeds were not included in that balance. She afterward corrected those statements. The general fund balance has grown to about $20 million since the end of 2023, Page said.

Boeing Stock Dropped Following News of Air India Crash—These Are the Key Price Levels to Watch
Boeing shares will likely remain in focus after slumping to end last week following news that one of the company's aircraft was involved in an Air India plane crash. The stock staged a news-driven breakdown from a rising wedge pattern in Thursday's trading session, potentially setting the stage for a deeper retracement. Investors should watch crucial support levels on Boeing's chart around $187 and $163, while also monitoring vital resistance levels near $218 and $ (BA) shares will likely remain in focus after slumping to end last week following news that one of the company's aircraft was involved in an Air India plane crash on Thursday. While air safety experts have said that at this time there is no reason to think a manufacturing or design problem caused the incident, it comes as the aircraft manufacturer faces heightened scrutiny over its production processes following several mishaps involving its planes, including a door plug detaching in midair on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 flight in January last year. Boeing shares fell 4.8% on Thursday and dropped another 1.7% on Friday, closing the week at around $200. The stock still trades about 13% higher since the start of the year. In recent months, the shares have been boosted by optimism that the company could be a beneficiary in a long term trade deal with China and Beijing's withdrawal of a ruling imposed in early April that barred the country's airlines from taking delivery of Boeing planes. Below, we take a closer look at Boeing's chart and use technical analysis to identify crucial price levels worth watching out for. Boeing shares staged a news-driven breakdown from a rising wedge pattern in Thursday's trading session, potentially setting the stage for a deeper retracement. The selling, which occurred on the highest volume since last October, coincided with the relative strength index falling toward its neutral threshold, signaling accelerating downside momentum. Amid the potential for further price swings, let's identify crucial support and resistance levels on Boeing's chart that investors will likely be watching. Follow-through selling could see the shares initially test the $187 level. The shares find a confluence of support in this area near the upward sloping 50-day moving average and multiple peaks on the chart stretching back to May last year. This location also sits in the same neighborhood as the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level when applying a grid from the April low to June high. A close below this crucial price opens the door for a fall to lower support around $163, roughly in the same vicinity as the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. Investors may look for buy-and-hold opportunities in this region near a horizontal line that links a range of correspond trading activity over a 12-month period between April last year and April this year. Upswings in the stock could propel an initial rebound toward $218. This area on the chart may provide overhead selling pressure near the top of the rising wedge, which also closely aligns with a period of consolidation just below the 200-day moving average early last year. Finally, buying above this level could see Boeing shares climb to around $245. Investors who have accumulated the stock at lower prices may look to lock in profits on a fill of the prominent January 2024 stock gap.
