FASTSIGNS of Annapolis Rebuilding After Devastating Fire, Operations Continue Through Arbutus Location
FASTSIGNS of Annapolis is working to recover after a devastating three alarm fire on Friday that destroyed its facility, equipment, and multiple completed and in-progress projects.
All team members were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.
“This was a tough hit,” said Andrew Thomson, Business Development at FASTSIGNS of Annapolis. “We lost our building and everything inside it, but we didn’t lose our team. Everyone is safe, and we’re still moving forward.”
Despite the significant loss, the company confirmed it remains fully operational. Production and project support have been transitioned to its sister location, FASTSIGNS of Arbutus, allowing continued service to clients across Maryland without interruption.
“Our team is the heart of what we do,” Thomson said. “They’re hardworking, resilient, and deeply connected to this community. Right now, our focus is making sure they’re supported and that we keep moving.”
A GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist employees impacted by the fire, including support for lost wages, replacement of personal belongings, and short-term needs for team members and their families.
Community members and local businesses are encouraged to support the company by contributing to the campaign or continuing to partner with FASTSIGNS for signage services.
“Continuing to send projects our way is one of the most meaningful ways to support our team right now,” Thomson said. “It helps keep our people working and moving forward.”
FASTSIGNS of Annapolis emphasized that its work continues despite the setback.
“Signage plays a critical role in how businesses operate and present themselves,” Thomson said. “That doesn’t stop because of this. We’re still here, still serving, and committed to rebuilding stronger.”
The company, a longstanding part of the Annapolis business community, plans to rebuild and continue serving the region.
