Firehouse Friday: Easton Fire Department

A proud moment for a father and son at the Easton Fire Department earlier this week.  Three new recruits were sworn in as Easton firefighters at the Town Hall; among them, Richard Salve III. Richard Salve III took the oath the same day his father, Richard Salve II, retired from the department. In a career where legacy and tradition are very important, Salve III was proud to pass on his duties to his son.  That pride was echoed, Salve III explained, “…everyone knows the name Rich Salve, and it’s something I can be very proud of to say ‘that’s my dad.’” Congratulations to both Salve men and the 2 other new Easton Fire recruits.
