Oakdale Hose Company’s

It is with deep regret the Oakdale Hose Company must announce the passing of 41 year, Life Member, Carl Belluomini.  Carl joined the department in 1970 and was an extremely active member throughout the years. Brother Belluomini was a fixture in the lunch stand during the annual street fair and always had a smile on his face while behind the grill in the 90 degree weather.

Carl passed away on April 8, 2011. He is survived by his wife Marlene, daughters, Victoria and Christine, and grandchildren, Nicolas, Courtney, Lauren, Daniel, and Anthony.

Carl served in the United States Navy from 1954-1958 and was a retired typographer and graphic artist.

Funeral services will be held at Thomas & Little Funeral Home at 5000 Noblestown Road in Oakdale on Monday April 11, 2011 from 2-4 and 6-8. Firefighters Service will take place at 7:00 P.M. Monday evening.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 11:00 A.M. at St Patrick’s Church in Noblestown. Carl will be laid to rest at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies in Cecil.

Please keep Carl’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

God Speed Brother, we will miss you and never forget you!

A donation has been approved by the Highmark Insurance Company to the Oakdale Hose Company.  The donation of 3 laptop computers will be used for Company 215 to participate in the MDT (Mobile Data Terminal) program with Allegheny County Communications.

The MDT’s will allow the members of the department to see incident updates in real time as they are being processed by the 911 center. They also have the capabilities of the Hazardous Material Guide Book, detailed map of Allegheny County, a white board feature that will allow the Incident Commander to diagram the scene as it is being worked. The MDT will also allow us (if at the station) to see calls before they are dispatched.

Although the computers are not in our hands yet, the volunteers and the community are very excited to have this new technology coming to us with in the next few months!
