Norwood Fire Dept. Open House a Success
56th Annual Veteran’s Day Parade BY CAITLIN FROST 8:00 a.m.: Veteran’s Mass at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church 9:30 a.m.: Parade meets at the Balch School Any veteran is welcome to march in the parade. Mostly, veterans are from the Korean War, Desert Storm I, and the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, but some World War II Veterans still march. Elected officials lead the parade, and the Norwood Police and Fire Department provide color guard. The Boys and Girls Scouts of Norwood are also asked to march in the parade along with the Norwood High School Marching band. The Colonial Boys Corps—Colonial Bag Pipers—keep the beat for the marching cadence. 10:00 a.m.: The parade begins and runs from the Balch School to the Town Common.
The aerial ladder provided a stunning view of the Norwood Firefighter's Open House on October 16th.
The Norwood Fire Department would like to thank all who came out to visit us us during our 2010 Open House. Many families stopped by to enjoy the event while learning about fire safety and fire safety devices. The kids
had a great time as they explored the apparatus and the station while learning about the job of being firefighter. Special thanks to Dunkin Donuts and Papa Ginos for their very generous donations of munchkins, coffee and

pizza making the event a complete success. The pinnacle of the event was Fire Chief Mike Howard’s presentation of a Citizen Recognition Award to Norwood resident Rebecca Prendergast for her quick action
in helping to resuscitate a two month old infant who had stopped breathing due to an obstructed airway. Thank you to everyone who participated in the event.
