In this mini-documentary produced by filmmaker John Stanton for the Nantucket Historical Association, current ‘Sconset residents share stories about the Siasconset Volunteer Fire Department. It includes excerpts from a series of oral histories conducted by John Stanton for the NHA in 2019.
In this video, Snookie Eldridge remembers joining the ‘Sconset Fire Department in 1959. Snookie and Rob Benchely talk about what it was like to serve as a volunteer, responding to calls in the middle of the night, having to know where the house alarms were located and where the keys were hidden, and doing whatever was necessary to help get the fires under control. The ‘Sconset Fire Department was disbanded in 2015 when Rob, the youngest volunteer, was 65.
The 'Sconset Oral History Project was generously funded by the Judy Family Foundation.
