Around 1970, we had a couple of incidents of fire equipment having trouble coming out of the station to answer a call.
Fire Chief Arthur Stewart went before the Board of Selectmen to ask for red lights to be installed to stop traffic when we had an emergency call.
Yesterday, while traveling up Main Street, I was stopped by a red light in front of the fire station.
Chief, you have your light, 55 years later!
— William T. Hamilton Jr., Hopkinton
