Collision of Fire Trucks, October 18, 1919
This accident occurred during a response to a small fire on Crowninshield Rd. Ladder Truck B was leading Combination AA on Pleasant St. preparing to turn on to Crowninshield Rd. A misunderstanding of the intended movement of Ladder Truck B caused Combination AA to collide with it and spin 180 degrees. Several firefighters were thrown from the truck and hoseman Michael J. Mahon was killed. An émigré from Galway, Ireland, he lived in Brookline Village with his wife and five children with a sixth child on the way. After working as a gardener he began work for the fire department in 1916 and was working at Station A in the Village Square at the time of the accident.
