In 1947, a few men got together and started what is known as the Circleville
Fire Company. Those men were dedicated individuals. Their aim was to make this
one of the best fire companies around Orange County. Circleville is still today
one of the most respected fire companies in the county.
Chief Walter Szulwach had a small
accident this past February in the Bullville Fire District. Chief
Szulwach claims the sun was in his eyes when he rear-ended the car in the
front of him. Chief Joe Moore on the left and Lt. Michael DelVecchio on
the right of the Bullville Fire Company, presented Chief Szulwach with the
grille and front end of his damaged Chief's vehicle along with a large
pair of sunglasses to help him in the future with "sun glare".

Circleville Ends Year with a Record 523
Alarms.
The Circleville Fire Company had its
last alarm for 2007, New Years Eve at 11:49 PM.
The call was an ambulance assist on Howard Dr.
Only two structure fires are included in the alarms that were mostly made
up of motor vehicle accidents and rescue calls. The two structures were an
abandoned house on Tamms Rd. and a house on Scotchtown Collabar Rd. that
was between occupancy. The record 523 alarms was the most in Circleville's
60 year history.

Check out this exciting new book. "When
The Bronx Burned" ,
by John J. Finucane.
In his novel, When the Bronx Burned, John
Finucane, a retired lieutenant with the New York City Fire Department,
tells the fascinating story of the burning of the Charlotte Street area of
New York’s South Bronx during the late 1960s and 70s; an era when
arson-for-profit drove hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.
It’s an intriguing story that shows a New York that most people are
completely unfamiliar with. The premise allows for a great deal of
conflict and action, for the heroes aren't just fighting flames, they are
fighting a brutal gang of arsonists, the slumlords that employ them, and
the political machine that permits the scheme to take place.
