This must've been in the Sixties but in the later Sixties since there is a Snorkel unit laying a stream. Volunteer firefighters are heroes though while awaiting the call they put their pants on the same as you or I. To enjoy the "high" of helping people and taking part in the challenge is to many enough payment.
thank you so much for this amazing video! I live in hilton, and am quite passionate about the history of our great village. The fire is something that is obviously has had and continues to have a huge impact on our town in many ways, it was great to see footage of what it was really like. i'll be passing this on to family and friends!! thank you again, great work!!
Thank you for this.. I also live in Hilton. ny, and I really am proud to be an Explorer in the fire department..... these three men, are heroes.... This just goes to show, that even a sleepy little village of Hilton, does have heroes, and it makes people want to join the Fire Department and help out... ^.^ This video is ... AMAZING!!!!!!! ^.^ ** so proud of The Hilton Fire Department**
Thank you very much for posting this piece of local history. I live in Hilton,NY and know the fine gentlemen in the video... Heroes all 3. It was a terrible disaster indeed - but God saw fit to send us plenty of angels that day !!
