we need your help and email.....
We are reaching out to all unions across the country. We need your help. We are 2 firemen that have opened a night club in south Florida - One has over 25 years on the job, the other 18 we need to get the name out for firedog saloon so if ever in south Florida, all firefighters know there is a nightclub that wants them to visit. We offer 50% off for all firemen, police, paramedics, military and hospital personnel on Wednesdays. 20% every other day.
Please post the flyer in your bay so if ever your guys come to Florida , we want to take care of them.
Thank you for your time
Stay Safe

On May 10th I witnessed something that I will never forget. I was visiting my sister in Revere when we heard people yelling. We looked outside to see a fire in her neighbor’s backyard. We ran outside and at that time I saw five individuals running from the top of the street to the house. Those individuals were Tim O’Hearn, Danielle O’Hearn, Melvin Dominique, Jocelyn Velney and Bobby Galvin all off duty Somerville Firefighters. The neighbors grill caught on fire and it quickly spread to the fence and the back of the house. Thanks to the quick thinking of these selfless firefighters they were able to put the fire out with the limited resources. The only casualty was the neighbor’s dog that was crated next to the grill that was on fire. There wasn’t a second of hesitation from a single one of them considering they had no protective gear or a fire hose. If it wasn’t for these individuals the neighbor would have lost part of if not all of their house.
When the Revere Fire department showed up the fire was out and we found out they were given an incorrect address so there was a bit of delay in their arrival. The five Somerville Firefighters stepped away once they RFD arrived on scene. What they did was heroic and a true testament to show their dedication to public safety.

As many already know, my grandfather Fred Thumith passed away last week. I just wanted to thank you ALL for the kind words and outpouring of support shown to my family through this difficult time. He loved every minute of his 'Spark' days and taking him by Headquarters one last time was so touching - it truly was an amazing send off. Thanks Again.. |

My Step-Dad was Doug Oliphant a Firefighter on Somerville from 1950-1969. He loved each and every one of you BOYS and would love the GIRLS too if he were here. Thank you to all who helped me send him off with pride in July 2000 with his badge. Mom passed in June 2001. My Daughter Danielle is buying the Avenue Grill in Dorchester and will be dedicating it to FIREFIGHTERS including a change of name in your honor. When it starts to happen I will let you all know....of course you will be well taken care of...WE LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!! SEVEN'S HEAVEN I hope you are still doing what you did for us. We will never forget it. PS we were the ones on Irvington Rd. that you made smile when you pulled up to pick up the food. Mom said you guys needed a truck :-) luckily you brought one the day of the funeral. |

Lt. Tom Salemme & Capt. Charlie Breen, recently provided me with information I needed to try & piece together & tell the story of the fire that claimed 5 lives, & one was a Somerville Firefighter & my great uncle Richard McDevitt. I could call anytime & pose whatever questions or theories I was getting from the information I'd gathered. When Firefighter McDevitt's widow passed away, his oldest son never again saw any of the information his mother had kept all these years. Thanks to the magnanimous willingness to help, by Lt. Tom Salemme & Capt. Charlie Breen, I could not have put together the story of that 1952 fire, nor provide my cousin with something he thought he'd never see again.
So once again Thank you Lt. Salemme & Capt. Breen, you are both excellent ambassadors for the Somerville Fire Department. For all o' the other Somerville Firefighters, be professional & be safe & Thanks for doing what you do. |

I grew up in Somerville til I was 16, then moved to CT. Visiting this site really brings back good memories. I remember visiting E-2 and L-2 on Broadway when I was 12-16 years old. All I remember is a guy named Jimmy who taught me where the equipment was on the truck (he was a truckie) and what it was used for. I remember running to the fires, all hours of the night and day. Sometimes Jimmy would ask me to get something off the truck for him. I'm forever grateful to those guys for helping to cultivate my interest in the Fire Service. Now, I'm 48 years old and have been a member of the BRistol Fire Dept. (Local 773) for 24 years and have attained the rank of Captain. I joke about coming back up and testing for Somerville and starting over again. Hey...I never forgot how to clean the bathrooms, sweep floors and hump hose. I always preach to the young guys "Don't ever forget where you came from!"
I wish you guys all the best. My feet are in Bristol, but my heart is in Someville.
Be safe!

I have been on your site for the last two hours, a memebr of Eng 7 turned me onto it. I think it is cool and a great site. I wish my dept had the history yours has. That in it's self is worth it's weight in gold. I AM ALSO LOOKING TO OBTAIN ALL OF YOUR DEPT'S OLD STATION PATCHES, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Later and keep up the good work. |

I just stumbled upon your website and I thing it is just awesome. I grew up in Somerville and graduated from Somerville High with the Class of 81. I actually graduated with Somerville firefighter Christine Guelpa. I am so glad there is a website for the Somerville Fire Department. I miss Somerville and I think it is the greatest City and has the greatest fire department.
Keep up the good work and be safe - all of you.
