The Good Intent and Engine 3-10 visited their sister company in Blue Ridge Summit Pa this past weekend. Blue Ridge Fire and Rescue was the company that we bought 3-10 from in 1994. On Sunday just before we came home Fire Chief Jim and his wife took us on a tour of the National Fire Academy. This location is where FEMA and the National Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial is located.

The GIHC would like to thank everyone for showing up to our hose and barrel event. We had a great time hosting it and all the spectators and competitors enjoyed everything.

We also would like to mention that Sacramento fire co participated in their first hose and barrel and although they didn't win a trophy they had the fastest time of the day. Hope to see everyone next year at ours and friedensburg fire co (usually at the end of May) hose and barrel competitions

This years tournament champions were New Ringold Fire Company. New Ringold's team went undefeated to the championship match between them and Mahanoy City's Citizens team. Mahanoy had to beat New Ringold twice to take home the trophy. The first game Mahanoy City won. The second game went to New Ringold. Saturdays games were probably some of the best games that we've seen / played in over our grove. Congrats New Ringold you deserved it.

Llewellyn Mine Disaster
25 Years
April 30th - May 5th

1984


A massive rescue effort has focused on an ominous gaping hole on Sharp Mountain, where authorities fear a four-wheel drive vehicle containing six young people is wedged at least 50 feet below the surface. The mine shaft is nearly perpendicular and rescuers are unable to reach the vehicle because of its unstable condition. They hoped to insert a large steel pipe down the mine shaft so that some could descend through the pipe to the vehicle.
Six young people lost their lives when their four-wheel-drive vehicle plunged down a mine shaft on Sharp Mountain.
