Retired Greensburg Fire Chief Laid to Rest
Greensburg, PA – John Edward Hutchinson, better known as “Hutch”, passed away on April 15, 2018. Hutchinson became Greensburg Fire Chief in 1953 and served as Chief for 63 years before his retirement in 2016. At the time, he was one of the longest serving Fire Chiefs in the country, and the longest serving Chief in Pennsylvania. He joined Greensburg Hose Co. #3 in 1939 at 18 years of age. He was instrumental in starting the fire department’s dive team in 1957, bloodhound team in 1969, and tactical rescue team in the 1990’s. Chief Hutchinson was 96years-old when he passed. The entire Greensburg community, along with the Pennsylvania fire community will truly miss him. We thank him for his 78 years of dedicated service.

A very unique piece of Lancaster County, PA has been brought back home. A local collector very familiar with this 1974 CF Mack snorkel (1250/500/55') now owns it and is currently restoring it. This piece was originally ordered for Pikesville, MD, and then sold to the Eden Fire Co., in Manheim Twp., PA, where the collector first operated it. After a few years with Eden, it was again sold to a department in Grand Bay, AL, where it ran its last few years as an active piece before being sold to a collector in York County, PA. In late winter of this year, the current collector purchased "Snorkel 24" back. It will now be roaming the streets it once served under, as a privately owned piece.
