The voice you hear in this clip is that of former radio personality Jack Race for the WHUC Radio
News Broadcast on Tuesday, January 23rd, 1979. In the vintage broadcast, Race pays tribute to Volunteer Firefighters
from the City of Hudson, and mutual aid companies from Greenport, Claverack and Stottville that fought multiple fires in the
City of Hudson on Monday, January 22nd, 1979, set by a 17 year-old arsonist who would eventually be apprehended.
Numerous firefighters put their lives and personal safety on the line that day and everytime they answer an alarm.
These brave men and women don't do it for pay, but instead, they do it for the "pride" they get in serving
the communities in which they live and work. Thank you to James Briscoe for contributing the tape from which this soundclip
was produced.
