Lutinsk Harvys Lake Fire Department It is with deepest sympathy and sadness that we reflect on in many ways, the reality and acceptance of so many firefighters that have passed away. They'll always be remembered as persons brave and strong, willing to do what's necessary to help their fellow man along. To get up early to risk their life and sometimes stay up late, they enter in a “twilight zone” not knowing what their fate. Hoping to protect a home and victims held inside, to listen, look and search around, to hear the faintest cry. The flames get hot they battle back the drive in them is strong, to rescue adult, child or pet; make sure the fire's gone. A firefighter is special that's how they got to be, to juggle duties, work and home, to love their family. So when it’s time for them to go and leave us all behind, cherish all the memories the laughter and good times. We'll never forget our New York brothers true heroes that are gone, not only those who left this world but those who still fight on.

GILLIGAN Officers of the Back Mountain Firemen's Association are pictured with the plaque that the association will present to the New York Fire Department this spring. From left are Dan Manzoni, fire department chief in Jackson Township and treasurer of the association; Jack Dodson, Kunkle Fire and Ambulance Department chief and president; Frank Lutinski, vice-president and author of the poem on the plaque, and Brian Johnson, association secretary and fire chief in Trucksville. Firefighters — (continued from page 1) 18612. Checks are also being accepted at the PNC Bank. Members of most of the 15 companies were on hand for the plaque’s unveiling on Sunday. None of the local companies had members go to work at the site of the New York tragedy al- . though they were all on call. “We sent a list of our available resources,” said Brian Johnson, secretary of the association and chief of the Trucksville Fire De- partment. “No one was called up but we were all on standby.” Volunteers —— (continued from page 1) phones, work on their web pages, man hoagie sales and work at bazaars and carnivals. Whatever a per- son's skill or availability, a volunteer fire company can use them. Just call your local fire and ambu- lance companies and ask what you can do to help. Fire department web addresses Five local fire departments now have web pages Unlike in some other areas, the local companies did not see much of an increase in volun- teer activity in the past few months. “We did have a few peo- ple come in, but it was mostly for ambulance work,” said Joe Perugino, fire chief at Harveys Lake. “We have one young ambu- lance volunteer, Dan Piccillo of Wyoming, who is very enthusi- astic,” said Richard Bartholomew, chief of Franklin Township and Northmoreland Township Ambulance. “He is helping me to get other young people involved. I'm glad to see the young people have an inter- tion. They need people to do secretarial work, answer teer. They are: est in it,” he added. There is a difference, though, in how the public now perceives these volunteers. “We've gotten comments that people didn't re- alize what fire and ambulance workers went through. They've expressed admiration,” said Dodson. Other representatives on hand for the plaque unveiling were: Rick Wentzel, Idetown; Christine Lamoreaux, Jackson Township; Greg Montross, Noxen; Dennis Bonning, Lehman; Harry Vivian, Dallas; Ron Witkowski, Franklin Township; Seth Thomas, Mt. Zion; J.R.
