There is more going on at the
Thresher Reunion than just what
goes on at the fairgrounds itself.
Saturday and Sunday mornings
hundreds of people turn out at the
Blyth fire hall as the Blyth and
District Fire Department puts on a
pancake breakfast.
Last year more than 700 people
found out the firemen can cook as
well as put out fires. It was a huge
growth over the year before so the
firemen are preparing for big
things this year.
The firemen start preparing
about a month ahead, Lieutenant
Paul Josling says. Jobs are assign
ed to various firemen for various
things. Someone has to arrange to
get the propane grills and micro
wave ovens and other equipment
needed. Others are in charge of
borrowing chairs and tables from
the school and local churches.
Others do the shopping for the
food.
The firemen are ready to serve at
8 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday
andfromthen until 11 a.m. they
keep flipping out the pancakes as
well as sausage, bacon, orange
juice, tea and coffee.
Helping out are the wives of
some of the firemen. It’s an
insurance policy, Lieut. Josling
says, just in case there should be a
fire call in the middle of the
breakfast. In that case one fireman
will be left behind to do the cooking
and the wives will help with the
serving.
That’s never happened although
it came close acouple of years back.
The breakfast had just been
finished and the firemen took part
in the parade, then got back to the
station just in time to answer a fire
call.
Once breakfast is over, the
firemen aren’t through in their
duties at the Thresher Reunion.
The department’s modern, well-
equipped rescue van will be on
duty atthethresherreunion in case
any emergency assistance is need
ed. Last year the crew did answer
one emergency as well as helping
people with such things as getting
grit out of their eyes, Lieut. Josling
said.
