On 15 May 2024 the Locomotive Club of Great Britain (LCGB) had a charter train on the Csömödéri Állami Erdei Vasút (Csömödér State Forest Railway), a 110 km 760 mm gauge railway system of which 33 km are served by tourist passenger trains. The remainder is still in use as a forestry system bringing logs from the forest which is largely inaccessible by road. The loco is an 0-8-0T built by Resita in Romania in 1956, seen close to the junction of two branches at Pördefölde making a run-past.
On the 21st of January, 1905, the worst nightmate of any mill owner came true, as fire ripped through Old Lane Mill, Halifax. It was the first mill fire of the year, but before the end, another three mills in a ten mile radius were badly damaged by fire.
The first mill on the site was recorded in 1816, but this one was built in 1825. Two years later, in 1827, owner Akroyd built the first Jacquard looms in Britain, and the mill was iron-framed and fitted with stone floors – the first in any British mill – to support the machinery.
Today those floors are still there, stripped of machinery, but remants of old looms and chutes are still there.
Apparently the nightwatchman used to fire a blunderbuss each night to signal he was on duty. Thankfully, he is no longer there...
Resources from throughout Santa Barbara County came together at UCSB to run a full scale HazMat drill. The scenario had Engine 17 arrive on scene to find a victim on the third floor surrounded by an unknown chemical. The victim was pronounced DOA and a full HazMat response was initiated. Santa Barbara County Fire, Santa Barbara City Fire, Lompoc Fire, Montecito Fire and Carp-Summerland Fire all took part in the drill.
