Firefighter’s Memorial Sunday ceremonies took place on Sunday, June 9th. Ceremonies began with a wreath laying ceremony at 8:30am at the Arrow Paper Fire Memorial located at 101 South Street. Attendees were requested to then proceed to the Lowell Street Fire Station located at
651 Somerville Ave at 9:15am to honor all of our members who died in the line of duty, as well as our retirees who passed away during the past year.

This year’s ceremony is of particular significance as it will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Arrow Paper fire of which FF Joseph Reilly and FF Robert Brickley were tragically killed in the line of duty.

Following the morning’s ceremonies, friends and families were invited to join in for a catered breakfast at the Dante Club on Craigie Street.
