Memorial Service opens the 61st Annual Huntingdon County Fireman's Convention being hosted by the Mount Union Fire Company No. 1

County firefighters and EMS personnel gathered at the CMA church in Mount Union to pay tribute to those comrades who have passed on.  The Rev. Gordon Ross and Pastor Mike Dubbs conducted the service.  This annual event marks the opening of the Huntingdon County Fireman's Convention that will conclude Saturday night, July 14th with a fireworks display.

The large flag that greeted the attendees was suspended between Quint 7 and Attack 1, aerial devices from the Mount Union and Alexandria Fire Companies.
