Here's the Times' coverage of the anniversary celebration of Hamilton's legendary Rusling Hose Volunteer Fire Company as it celebrated 50 years of service to Broad Street Park area residents of Hamilton. This is a duplicate post which I have re-posted as the fire company celebrates a milestone 65th anniversary.

HI TOM...RUSLING HOSE WAS JUST ONE OF THE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANIES IN HAMILTON TOWNSHIP. I OFTEN WONDERED WHY THEY HAD A POLICE DEPT. AND NOT A FIRE DEPT. THE VOLUNTEER COMPANIES WERE OUTSTANDING AND THAT MAY BE THE REASON WHY. BEST REGARDS.

Hi Tom. Your heading and comment for this article is a bit confusing. You state that Rusling Hose Company celebrates its 65th anniversary in 2011. In fact, the Company is celebrating its 115th anniversary in 2011 having been organized in 1896.

- HI JIM:
- I GUESS THE CONFUSION LIES IN THE HEADING "1946 - 2011;" RUSLING HOSE 65TH ANNIVERSARY. AS YOU CAN SEE, I WAS PARAPHRASING THE ARTICLE WHICH TELLS OF THE 1896 GENESIS OF THE ORGANIZATION. I JUST ASSUMED THAT MOST VISITORS WOULD SEE THE DATE 1946 AND REALIZE THAT THE 65TH ANNIVERSARY WAS CELEBRATED DURING THE YEAR 1946. I HAVE CHANGED THE POST FROM 2011 - 1946..." TO JUST PLAIN "1946."
