BLACKIE with Bob Van Tuyle when he was stationed at Park Hill. One of the most memorable facts about Station 5
was their Mascot - a dog named "Blackie."Blackie lived at the station for many years. When the fire bell sounded,
Blackie bounded for the old '41 Ford and jumped on top of the hose bed, ready to make the
run!
