1978 Dodge 4WD Pickup converted into forestry unit.
1978 Chevrolet Ambulance Conversion.
This vehicle was a gift from the Phillipston Firefighters' Association
when they obtained their new Rescue Unit.
It replaced a 1976 Ford Ambulance Conversion that had been in service
in Petersham for about 8 years, and in Barre for many years before that.
Dodge-Grahm Fire Engine This piece of apparatus was originally in service in the town of Dana, Mass. Dana is one of the communities lost to the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) when the Massachusetts Legislature stole the land from the farmers and the Quabbin Reservoir was built in the 1930's. Parts of Dana are now under water and pieces of Dana, North Dana, and other towns are now incorporated into Petersham and the Petersham Fire Department's responsibilities. This fire engine became a piece of the Petersham Fire Department after Dana was unincorporated in the 1930's. Pictured here are Anne (Yonker) Hyde and Peggy (Yonker) Thayer, daughters of the late Fire Chief George Yonker, Retired Fire Chief Windy Anderson, and in the rear, the late Clarence Russell. It is believed that the picture was taken around 1950. Thank you to Mary Yonker for sharing this picture with us.
