Two Teens Killed in Collision with Akron Fire Apparatus

Two teens who died after their SUV collided with an Akron fire truck have been identified. LaShae Johnson, a 16-year-old junior at Akron East High School, and Briyana Hayes, a 15-year-old sophomore at Buchtel High School, were killed in the crash on Rhodes and Exchange Friday Afternoon, according to Akron Public Schools.

Six others were injured in the accident. Three of those hurt were Akron firefighters, but they apparently only sustained minor injuries.

Investigators say the fire engine was heading to a training exercise and not responding to an emergency call when the crash occurred.

Cumberland Valley Hose Company Aims Grocery Sale at New Ladder Truck

A fire company in Shippensburg is taking a new approach to raise money for a new ladder truck - a grocery sale. Cumberland Valley Hose Company will host a benefit grocery sale Saturday at the Shippensburg Firefighters Activities Center, 33 W. Orange St. in Shippensburg. The sale starts at 11 a.m.

A fire company in Shippensburg is taking a new approach to raise money for a new ladder truck — a grocery sale.

Cumberland Valley Hose Company will host a benefit grocery sale Saturday at the Shippensburg Firefighters Activities Center, 33 W. Orange St. in Shippensburg. The sale starts at 11 a.m. and is expected to last until about 3 p.m. It will be run by Michael “Irish Mike” Sullivan, owner of New Dawn Enterprises of Hanover, who will offer a variety of grocery store items at a fraction of the grocery store cost.

“I guarantee that we can beat any grocery store price by 20 to 60 percent because we don’t have the overhead and we buy quantity,” Sullivan said. “We’re licensed by the Department of Agriculture, inspected regularly, licensed, fully bonded and insured. … And we stand behind everything 100 percent.”

Lauren Ocker, fundraising committee chair for Cumberland Valley Hose Company, said she heard about Sullivan from Andrew Henry, owner of Keystone Gun Sales in Carlisle, who coordinates the fire company’s gun drawings.

Gun drawings, which are held each spring and fall, along with Saturday night Bingo, are the main fundraisers for Cumberland Valley Hose Company. However, with plans to purchase a new ladder truck this year, she said the company needed new fundraising ideas.
