The Longwood Fire Company has appointed Dave Thomson as chief engineer of the company, a press release said.
“Dave has an important position at Longwood. He is in charge of keeping all of the trucks running,” said Chief A. J. McCarthy. “He did an excellent job previously as assistant chief engineer.”

A co-worker at Longwood Gardens told him about Longwood Fire Company. “I had previous experience with another fire company,” Thomson said. “My co-worker got me in the front door. You can’t ask for a better group of guys to fight fires and hang out with.”
