The members of our Amherst Fire Department and the Amherst Firefighters' Association hold their banquet every year on the first Saturday in November, which took place this past weekend. This is an event for everyone to gather together, meet new members and socialize, as well as celebrate achievements.
All active members of the Amherst Fire Department gathered for a photo on the department's apparatus floor before the annual banquet got underway on Saturday night.
