Elmhurst fi rehouse celebrates cenetennial BY ANGY ALTAMIRANO [email protected] Members from Engine 287, Ladder 136 and Battalion 46 celebrated 100 years of service to Elmhurst. Firefi ghters, offi cers, former members of the fi rehouse and their families gathered at 86-53 Grand Avenue on September 5 for a centennial ceremony to honor their dedication. “It’s an important day for every single person who lived in this community then and now because a fi rehouse is such an important symbol in a community,” said Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano. “The impact you’ve made is measured not only in the number of fi res you’ve fought, but in the lives you’ve saved.” In the past century, six members of the fi rehouse won medals for valor and the groups have gotten numerous awards for their rescues. The fi rehouse has also lost six members in the line of duty. “This centennial is recognizing something that happened every day and night for 100 years, recognizing the men and women who risked their lives to protect Elmhurst,” said Captain Robert Byrnes of Engine 287.
