Description

From the inception of the Friendship Hose Company No. 1 of Orwigsburg in 1820 to the organization of the West Penn Hearth Company No. 1 in 1999, more than 130 volunteer Hearth firms have served Schuylkill County. This proud tradition of volunteer service for the security of fellow man continues sturdy to these days as scores of volunteer firefighters continue to serve their communities. The usage of the archives of the Schuylkill County Historical Society, Schuylkill Historical Hearth Society, and lots of Hearth firms and people, Schuylkill County Firefighting captures in its photographs the daunting challenges faced by generations of Schuylkill firefighters. Block-burning conflagrations, deadly explosions, and traumatic rescues reveal the heroic battles faced through the years by these dedicated public servants.
