Harvard firefighters hosted firefighters from Berlin, Bolton, Boylston, Holden, Princeton, Sterling, and West Boylston in the Wachusett Muster League’s 88th annual Firefighters’ Muster. The competition includes four events: the tower race, the broken hose race, the bed race, and the pump race. Two additional races—the old-timers’ race and the women’s race—don’t count in the competition. Harvard placed first in the day’s competition.
