Venomous. Not poisonous

And water moccasins. I've encountered two as a kid years ago in Galena.

Please add the location that this snake was located. Thank you.

Are these in Cecil County?

I hate any snake.

Singerly Fire Company shared Cecil County History's album.

1 week ago

This is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week (April 8-14. 2018), a time when we honor the professionals who answer 911 calls and dispatch emergency responders. While we thank public safety communicators, we thought we would remember the pioneers in Cecil County who were there to get the system started.

On Monday, October 2, 1961, at 12 p.m. sirens all across the county sounded, marking the beginning of professional, centralized communications as “fire headquarters” was on the air. The Whig explained the operation would be “manned around the clock with trained personnel who have a knowledge of every piece of emergency equipment in the county, where it is located, what it can be used for, and the method for dispatching it without loss of time.”

Four full-time Civil Defense employees staffed the 24/7 operation. The one dispatcher alone on the shift juggled the telephone calls, handled radio traffic, and kept the FCC log. The “chief operator” Jack Cooke, was assisted by “operators” Rosemary Culley, Marie Cooling, and Jim Penhollow. Robert Eversole served as a relief operator.

Several years ago we talked to Jim Penhollow, one of the original dispatchers about those days. He recalled that it was a couple of days before the first emergency call came in. During one particularly busy week in 1962, headquarters handled 20 calls. The times sure have changed and public safety communications have grown more complicated with each passing year.

We salute our public safety communications professionals, current and past. ... See MoreSee Less
