Chester’s Yosemite Firehouse gets its wreath
Press release | Dec 16, 2025 | Comments 0
Mark Verespy, assistant Fire Chief for the Chester Fire Department and a board member of the nonprofit Friends of Yosemite Firehouse Museum, hangs the wreath high above the sliding doors.
For years Chester Townscape has decorated the town’s public buildings and central locations with a variety of greens, berries and cheery red bows to welcome the holiday season.
To testify to the importance of the building, the Yosemite Firehouse now sports a beautiful large wreath between its south-facing windows, as well as a greens-filled barrel beside its sliding doors.
These decorations continue Chester Townscape’s efforts to beautify the town for residents, businesses and visitors, and they signify the ongoing efforts of the town to care for its resources, as well as the efforts of the town and Friends of the Yosemite Firehouse Museum to rehabilitate the historic building into a fire museum to honor Chester’s history and its firefighters and their place in Chester’s thriving community.
