MULTIPLE ROOMS OFF IN THE HEIGHTS

May 15, 7:45 pm. Station 95 along with 93 EMS were dispatched to 1306-1308 Loomis Ave. in the Lincoln Heights Section of Taylor for a reported structure fire with multiple calls coming into the 911 center. The Engine Co. was the first to arrive finding a two story multi-family dwelling with heavy fire showing from the front of the home. Two hand lines were immediately stretched and advanced into the 2nd story of the residence to begin fire suppression. At this time Rescue 98 would be dispatched for the RIT Team. Crews from the 95 Rescue and Truck Co. performed a primary search of the residence, finding the family cat and safely removing it from the home.

HELMET BLESSING TO HONOR FALLEN FIREFIGHTER

When Joseph Czerw died while fighting a fire in Taylor 31 years ago, he left behind a hole for his family and community.

On Saturday, March 2 a helmet blessing ceremony will be held at the Union Street hose company at 7:00 p.m. to honor Mr. Czerw and pray for the safety of all firefighters.

On Feb. 27, 1982, Mr. Czerw, a volunteer firefighter, was called to a fire in the 1100 block of South Main Street and accidently bumped into a high-tension wire. He was the first Taylor firefighter in recent memory to die in the line of duty, his widow, Helene Czerw, 60, said.

Taylor Fire Dept. expects at least 200 people to be in attendance, with firefighters from Scranton and the surrounding communities joining the service.

Each year after the annual Memorial Day Parade, the company and Mrs. Czerw would lay flowers at his grave at Holy Cross Cemetery in Old Forge.

"He was 28 at the time; his son was 2," Mrs. Czerw said, referring to her son, Joseph.

The event will feature a welcome from state Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich and a blessing from the Rev. Gary Mensinger of St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church in Old Forge.

"Joe gave the ultimate sacrifice for his community," said John Tigue, borough fire captain and council vice president.

Mrs. Czerw said Mr. Czerw was a "typical Joe" but one with a big heart. He also had a strong sense of duty, she said. When he heard a fire call, there was no hesitation, no matter what.

"He would give you the shirt off his back," she said.
