The fire company operating out of the east side of Jim Thorpe is getting a new name, but it’s one with a strong history in Mauch Chunk. During Thursday night’s borough workshop, Councilman Mike Yeastedt said the new company, Onoko Fire and Rescue, would be coming out of a merger of the Fairview and Phoenix hose companies. “We have received approval from the state and the county has also voiced no objections,” Yeastedt said. At one time, he added, the Onoko Fire Company existed in East Mauch Chunk at the site of the current American Legion. The Phoenix and Fairview members decided they wanted a name change rather than retaining one or the other.
