Group Shots!!!

[Guest]

Last of my group shots is my favorite, but I'm a little biased. It was taken in Wareham, MA in October 1969 during Fire Prevention week. At the time, the town of Wareham had several seperate fire departments and they had a big parade. There was some opposition to taking the photo and the parade. As one Chief put it (to the best of my knowledge), "if the taxpayers see how much fire equipment we have, we'll never see a new truck ever again." His fears were unfounded. In the photo was apparatus from:



Wareham Fire District

Out of District Fire Department

Wareham Forest Fire Department.

Town of Wareham Fire Department

Onset Fire Department



note: many of these departments have since been absorbed only leaving two departments today - The Wareham Fire District and the Onset Fire Department.
