JOHN'S PHOTOS FOR THE WEEK

This week for my photos, Stoneham Engine 1's new 2024 Seagrave Marauder.

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.


Stoneham, MA has taken delivery of this 2024 Seagrave Marauder 1250/750/30F for Engine 1.
