Hamden firefighters were featured in this dramatic photo of a mid-winter water rescue that was published in LIFE magazine in February 1972.  The firefighters are identified (clockwise from the white shirt) as Wes DeGroot of Co. 7, and career firefighters Gerald Wolf, Edward Charbonneau, Walter Macdowall and Bob Viglione.  The four career firefighters were all assigned to Station 4 (town hall) on Platoon 2.
