DOVE Post Staff Seventy-five Back Mountain firefighters and their families gath- ered Saturday night, February 15, at the Castle Inn for the annual Back Mountain Firemen's Asso- ciation dinner and installation of 1992 officers. Newly installed officers included president Jack Dodson, vice presi- dent Rollie Evans, secretary Dick Heuer and treasurer Pat Hozempa. Master of ceremonies was Bob Besecker, while Senator Charles B. Lemmond, Jr. and Representa- tive George Hasay were featured as guest speakers. - Organized 44 years ago, the Back Mountain Firemen's Asso- ciation sponsors firefighter train- ing programs and fire schools so that firefighters know the latest and best firefighting techniques and are prepared for many differ- ent types of situations, Dodson said. “This year we're concentrating on an aggressive training program, including continuing education and refresher courses on safety, essentials of firefighting, recogni- tion and identification of hazard- ous materials and operations with hazardous materials. We want to provide.the public with what they deserve — the best fire protection possible,” Dodson explained. A fire investigation school will also be open to all members, al- though it is not sponsored by the association, Dodson said.. For many years, the organiza- tion has operated a mutual aid system, in which fire companies share manpower and equipment with nearby fire stations to assist when needed at one another's fires. And the tanker task force is ready to send Back Mountain tankers toany flirein the Wyoming Valley. “For example, many Back Mountain fire companies sent tankers and other equipment to the tire fire in Duryea last year. A few of our fire companies didn't go because they were needed on standby in case any other fires broke out here,” Dodson said. The organization also constantly reviews and. updates fire and ambulance company radio proce-, dures, in order to improve radio communications. = Fifteen fire companies [rom Dallas, Harveys Lake, Kunkle, Jackson Township, Trucksville, Shavertown, Idetown, Sweet Val- ley, Franklin-Northmoreland and Fairmont Township make up the organization. Any firefighter in good standing with these fire compa- nies is welcome to attend associa tion meetings, Dodson said. : The Back Mountain Firemen's Association meets the seco id Wednesday of every month, ali nating in different fire halls. F ire” fighters should contact their re- spective chief for further informa- tion. Police Chief Sabol will help plan state's Special Olympics Torch Run.
