Firefighter fights Alaska blazes joins crews from New Wilmington
Bryan Sullivan, a Wilmington Township firefighter and family man, volunteered for a 14 day Alaska assignment to battle hundreds of wildfires. Trained through the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry, he earned a wildland firefighting red card after passing a 45 pound pack test and underwent state and federal fire camp training. He traveled from Harrisburg to Duluth to Seattle and Fairbanks, then helped protect Galena and Kayukuk towns by building fire breaks and laying some 25 000 feet of hose with pump tanks to defend structures in remote areas.

Mount Jackson farm and the SNPJ Bicentennial path
John Long, as Mount Jackson bicentennial committee chair, recalls the summer of 1963 when he worked as a hired hand for Herman Serjak on farms that would become SNPJ Recreational Center grounds. He describes clearing brush along streams that lie beneath a lake using a John Deere 40 and a 6-foot brush hog, a difficult job requiring a log chain to tackle 12 to 20 foot thorn bushes.
