VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - January 19, 2016) - Mission Ready Services Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MRS) ("Mission Ready") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 10-20 Services Inc. ("10-20" or the "Company"), has been awarded the globally-recognized Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") Verification -- meeting both United States and Canadian standards -- for Advanced Cleaning & Repair of Proximity Fire Fighting Garments and Technical Rescue Garments at both its Fort Bragg, North Carolina and Barstow, California facilities.

The UL Certificate of Verification received by the Company provides that 10-20's facilities have been verified as Independent Service Providers under "NFPA 1851, Standard on Selection, Care and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, 2014 Edition and/or NFPA 1855, Standard on Selection, Care and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Technical Rescue Incidents, 2013 Edition." The UL Verification encompasses Advanced Cleaning & Inspection as well as Advanced Repairs of outer shells, thermal liners and various types of moisture barriers.

In addition to its active role servicing equipment for the United States military, 10-20 has identified the requirements for its capabilities in the First-Responder marketplace and has been proactive in demonstrating its capabilities to fire departments -- among other federal and municipal agencies -- nationally. The immediate market size in the areas currently represented by the Company approximates 35,000 of the over 1.1 million firefighters in the United States. The Company believes the UL Verification will help pave the way to launch additional 10-20 facilities in strategic locations, reducing logistical barriers and increasing efficiencies.
