PATERSON ENGINE 12


The Paterson Fire Journal received this photo of Engine 12's crew - circa 1930s or 1940s - from Bridget Westhoven. She writes: "I wish I had more background on this photo. It belonged to Edward (Eddie) Westhoven. Notation on the back indicates that these men were all members of Engine Company 12 (Paterson). Left to right: Bill McKelney, Ernie Wildermuth, Edward Westhoven and Howard Probert.''
