A matching pair of ornate hand lanterns were recently stolen from their storage box at the Fire Museum in Manchester, CT. The lanterns are two of seven belonging to an ornate parade hose cart.

These lanterns date back to a parade wagon purchased in 1882 by Crescent Hose Company #2. The parade wagon is currently on loan to the Connecticut Fireman's Historical Society.

The Manchester Police Department has several leads, but are still investigating. They can be reached at 860-645-5544

NEW

FREE National Clearinghouse for Firefighting Equipment

Chiefs or equipment officers who need gear, apparatus, or
anything else used in firehouse operations can visit the site,
post what they are looking for so that chiefs or equipment
officers can find you and pass on their out of service but still
serviceable gear.

Chiefs and equipment officers who have taken things out of
service and would like to have the gear used by other firefighters
can visit the site, post what it is they have and be easily found by
those who might put it to good use.

The site is FREE to use by both sides. The arrangements made
for transfer are between the transferring companies. We suspect
that there are times when gear will be transferred without any
money changing hands. And sometimes there will be sales.

We want two things. We want firefighters to have what they need.
We want those who use the site to look at how we are funding this
effort and to take the time to look at the information about how the
Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.’s Life Events Legal Plan can help
every firefighter and the firefighter’s family.

Royalties from memberships purchased via the FireFighterFund.org link
will pay for expenses of the site.

Hi everyone, I'm a volunteer firefighter with the CFA in Victoria, Australia.
FYI here is a link to an article I wrote about the history of Breathing Apparatus use within CFA.

Look forward to hearing about BA history from your fire departments.
Cheers.

Paul, Most likely a round Botton was easier to sew, and quicker to fill

Cory the 1st firefighters were the first cave men that chose to do something Rather then run away, when the cooking fire got away and torched the grass hut...one of the benefits to mud huts ...

November 30, 2010 -- Centereach Fire Department Back

A Family In Need

November 30, 2010

On November 24, 2010, the night before Thanksgiving, Candice Shore was involved in a motor vehicle accident that occurred in Manorville. Candice Shore lost her life three days later on Saturday November 27, 2010 due to complications pertaining to the motor vehicle accident. She was only 19 years old and left behind a loving family that included her twin sister and her grandfather who was an Ex-Chief for the Mastic Beach Fire Department. The Shore family has had many misfortunes this past year including a house fire which destroyed their home. Can we all please help the Shore family out especially during the holiday season? I am asking for some help from my fellow fire fighters, EMS personal, and the community. Donations of any amount would be greatly appreciated. The Shore family could really use any help during these tough times.
Please send any donations to the Shore family at PO Box 765, Farmingville, New York 11738.
Thank you very much for your support: emasiellosr560@centereachfd.org
