Today more than 160 members make up the Waltham Fire Department and serve the public by providing fire suppression, emergency medical, fire prevention, fire safety education, rescue and hazardous materials response services. A long way from 1817 when each individual was required to have a bucket and be part of a bucket brigade.
Join us as Steve Lydon, retired firefighter, takes us from today back to the beginning of the Waltham Fire Department.
This event is part of our Saturday Social Program supported in part by Waltham Cultural Council, a local agency funded by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
