The heat was on at the Pinckneyville Firehouse Friday morning and firemen hurried to prepare for the 73rd annual fish fry. More than 750 pounds of fish will be cooked throughout the day. Spokesman Randy Reiman said everything served is made from scratch including the batter, slaw, potato salad and even salad dressing. The event raises about $4,000 that is put into the Volunteer Fire Department fund and used to purchase small equipment.
