Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads, Inc.

Historical Information and Picture Request

We are in search of pictures that were taken in 1958 at the Floyd County, KY bus wreck in which 26 children died. TARS was just organized three years earlier in 1955 and this was one of the first large incidents that we participated in as an association. I have been in contact with Michael Crisp who is making a documentary on this terrible accident. He is searching for any pictures that may be available to use in the documentary. Please look in your scrap books, old boxes of pictures etc. for any pictures. Please e-mail me if you have any pictures, he may want to use them in the film. Also if you have any members that helped at the incident he would like to meet them also. Please contact me either by phone 865-689-3256 or e-mail stacy@tnars.org if you or your squad has any pictures.

If you would like to attend the screening, the only current scheduled screening for the documentary is for Fri, Feb 19th (7:30pm at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg, KY www.macarts.com).
