Lawrence Ma. Firefighter Rally 06/16/10

On Wednesday Afternoon around 16:00hrs. the Lawrence Ma. Firefighters held a rally at closed (Budget Cuts) Fire Station 6 at 480 Howard Street. The rally was being held due to the fact that, Lawrence is laying off 38 Firefighters come July 1, 2010. This will bring the dept roster down to 70 firefighters which means there will only be 13 firefighters on duty to protect more than 70 thousand people. Firefighters from the states of Mass and New Hampshire came out to show support to the men and women of Lawrence Fire Dept.
Speakers of the day were Lawrence President Driscoll, PFFM President McCarthy, IAFF Vice President Mullane and IAFF General President Schaitberger.
