Friends

Most of you know that for the past few years, Joe Provost, Don Linske and I, Mike Birrell, have been working on writing a book on the history of the Fire Department.  A common question is when will it be finished?  The answer is soon.  We are starting to contact publishers and soon will need the final copy.  We are finding ourselves going back and adding information to chapters that we felt were done.  At some point we just need to say it’s done and what isn’t included will have to wait for another day.

So this is our last call for help.  Many of our retirees and active members have indicated they have pictures and other items for the book.  Now is the time to get a hold of one of us.  We can scan your photos and if you would like give you a digital copy and probably help you identify the members and the event.  We especially need photos from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

If any of you have stories, especially first hand accounts of major events we would like to hear from you.

Thanks,
