JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, a few photos from Stoneham including our new Engine 1 taken during final inspection last week.

I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL.


Stoneham, MA Engine 1's new Seagrave has been completed at the factory. Delivery is expected by the end of April.



A couple photos from recent haz-mat refresher training.
