Several years ago HFRA member Paul Wetmore, who served as chief of the department from 1993 to 1996, found some photos (c. 1941) of early career firefighters among his dad's memorabilia. Clem Wetmore, Paul's dad, served as Supt. of Alarms and Appparatus from 1941 until his retirement in 1968. Among Clem's photos was this one (far left) of recruit firefighter V. Paul Leddy, who served as chief of the department from 1960 until his 1984 retirement.
