Saugus Fire
Special Call

Over the past few days the A-10 crews have had a deeply emotional mission to complete, paying respects and laying one of our own off to his final rest. Boston Sparks Association Life Member Damian "Jug" Drella, Car 251, a 39 year member of the Saugus Fire Department where he served as a Lieutenant on Engine Co. 3 as well as the department photographer and historian. Everything about Damian was about his service to family, community, friends and the fire service. He was the ultimate fire buff, an expert photographer, a founding member of the CITYWIDE fire buff radio network where his distinctive voice and witty humor would announce the fire activity in the Metro Boston area, when Car 251 was on the air, everyone listened intently.
His numerous awards and citations were testament to his dedication to community and the fire service.
Sometimes these calls for service are very personal, this one was. We lost Damian to occupational cancer after a long and courageous battle he did not want to lose, but alas the firehouse in heaven was calling for another faithful servant and Damian answered his last call surrounded by his loving family and friends.
The A-10 members were honored to stand with all his fire service comrades for this solemn ceremony paying respects to this wonderful man, the Saugus Fire Department and the community were outstanding in their support for Damian and his family and for that we are eternally grateful as his memory will live on and we will tell the stories of his time with us with love and appreciation for who he was.
Damian's legacy will live on as his cherished sons Alex (Mendon Fire) and Christian (Melrose Fire) are on the job he loved so much, he was so proud to see these fine young men follow in his footsteps.
Thank you to the Saugus Fire Department and our partners at Rehab 5 for allowing us to be part of this solemn send off for Damian, Godspeed 251.
