Chelsea Mass. Has a long history of major fires Including one of the greatest Conflagrations in American History in 1973. Thank God for great "Jakes" = Firefighters in Chelsea and the entire greater Boston Area. Only a great fire Department with the help of their brothers and sisters from the surrounding area could have controlled this fire. Thank God the wind speed was not higher. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

During Chelsea's busy times some Boston companies had as much fire duty there as they did in their own department.
 
As you can see above the Boston boys got some work in on this one (3 Engines, 2 Ladders and a Chief)
