Park, in Epsom NH, the 1st Annual Walter Sanborn and John Sawyer
Memorial Fire Truck Show will be held. This Show will be dedicated
to the memory of Walter Sanborn and John Sawyer both longtime fire
chiefs and vehicle enthusiasts.
Mr. Sawyer was a lifetime member
of the Epsom Fire Department. In 1961, he became a deputy fire warden
in Epsom and assistant fire chief under Roscoe Warren. He served as
fire chief from 1972 to 1976 and from 1980 to 1986. A mechanic, he
did much work on the fire trucks, above and beyond the call of duty.
John was a avid fire truck enthusiast and extremely knowledgeable in
antique fire apparatus. Chief Sawyer’s privately owned truck will be
present and on display.
Walter L. Sanborn, of Chichester,
was a 75-year member of the Chichester Fire Department and Rescue
Squad. He served as Fire Chief for 15 years. He also served as a NH
Forest Fire Warden for forty years. He was widely known for his
knowledge about and his extensive collection of antique automobiles
and fire apparatus, which he continued to acquire up to the time of
his death. His passion for these resulted in his membership in
numerous organizations. He also authored a history of the Chichester
Volunteer Fire Department, published in 2008. Chief Sanborn’s
privately owned fire trucks will be on display.
