Many Watertown and Oakville people were members of the local volunteer fire department.
In 1994 the Watertown Fire Department celebrated its 100th anniversary. It was founded on May 8, 1894. The Dept. issued a commemorative book which included some information that may be of interest to genealogists.

Two pages of photos showing the Dept. Chiefs were included. The first page with chiefs from 1898 to 1916 is here First Chiefs. The second page covered those officers from 1917 to 1994 and is available here Second Chiefs.
A list of deceased members as of the books publication date is given here Deceased .
