Watertown Fire Department
Firefighter Joseph Toscano, a 21-year veteran of the Watertown Fire Department, died Friday after collapsing during a fire.
A year after the Watertown Firefighter Joseph Toscano lost his life during a fire the Town and the Watertown Fire Department will honor him with the dedication of a memorial in East Watertown.
The public is invited to the ceremony for Toscano, which will take place on Saturday, March 17, 2018, exactly a year after his “last alarm.” A plaque will be unveiled at the corner of Merrifield and Bigelow Avenues.
A reception will be held afterward at the Metaxas/Hellenic Community Center, 25 Bigelow Ave., Watertown.
The plaque and the ceremony has been sponsored by a gift from Watertown Savings Bank.
Last August the Town Council passed a resolution to created the memorial http://www.ci.watertown.ma.us/documentcenter/view/22906
