Catch the Shuttle Bus from Laurel Ledge to the Beacon Hose Carnival!

The top complaint every year at the Beacon Hose Carnival is this: “There’s nowhere to park!”

Finally, we have a solution: Introducing carnival shuttle bus service between Beacon Hose and Laurel Ledge Elementary School!

Our shuttle bus will allow riders to park at Laurel Ledge and catch a ride to the main entrance of the carnival (see our grounds map below)! The shuttle will run every 15 minutes, or more frequently as needed, between the start of the carnival and 30 minutes prior to closing.

Beacon Hose Announcing Passing of 60-Year Member Mitch Mulinski

Beacon Hose is incredibly saddened to announce the passing of Mitch Mulinski, who served our department for an incredible 61 years. Mitch peacefully passed at home Monday evening surrounded by his family.

Mitch joined Beacon Hose in April 1965, as the fire service ran in his family. He served as a firefighter for many years and dabbled on the ambulance for a time until he switched to our fire police unit in the 1980s.
