JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

Merry Christmas! There will be no update the week of Christmas to allow myself to enjoy the time with my family. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday 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.


Merry Christmas! The santa at the Stoneham (MA) fire station dates back to the 1950's. It has been repaired and restored numerous times by the firefighters over the years and is something many locals look forward to seeing.
