Larchmont Celebrates Golden Jubilee
The Larchmont, N. Y., Fire Department held its Golden Jubilee on October 24 at Fire Headquarters with a rousing defense program and community service.
The Department was organized in 1890 and during the half century of its progress it has had twelve chiefs, two among them being especially prominent in the fire service. These were Mayhew W. Bronson, who served from 1900 to 1904 and who as a friend of the famous Chief Croker of the New York Fire Department, used to respond to multiple alarms in that city, driving his little red buggy the twenty miles and more from Larchmont. A very wealthy man, Chief Bronson endeared himself to all firemen of the metropolitan area.
