FRACKVILLE, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY -- A somber gathering was held Sunday to remember Schuylkill County firefighters killed in the line of duty.

A bell tolled after each of the 35 fallen firefighters' names were read in front of a fallen firefighters monument.

The tribute came during the annual Muster Open House at the Schuylkill Fire Training Grounds in Frackville.

Some of the firefighters' deaths date back to the 1800's.

The event also featured a display of modern and antique fire apparatus, live rescue demonstrations and food and refreshments.
