OUR STORY
OUR FOUNDER
Fire Captain, Wendell Evans
Wendell Evans was born March 18, 1951 in Wichita, KS. He later moved to Tulsa, OK and joined the local Tulsa Fire department. In 1979, Wendell took his knowledge of fire safety, his work experience, and a few fellow firefighters and created Cornerstone Chimneys. “W. I.” retired from the Tulsa Fire Department as a Captain in 2004 after 30 years of service. Built on the values that Wendell put into place over 40 years ago, Cornerstone Chimneys continues to be operated by Firefighters.
NEXT GENERATION
