BELLOWS FALLS â Work began Tuesday on the new Brown Fuller Memorial Park, with tree-cutting crews removing overgrown linden and crabapple trees. The park will honor the memory of two Bellows Falls firefighters who died in the line of duty in 1981.
Under the watchful eye of Bellows Falls Fire Chief Shaun McGinnis, workers from McClure Tree Service of Keene, N.H., cut down all but one large little leaf linden tree, which is on property owned by Great River Hydro, whose property adjoins the park.
The two young Bellows Falls firefighters died fighting a fire at the Star Hotel on December 29, 1981, and thereâs been a small park and a pair of memorial benches in honor of the fallen firefighters, Dana Fuller and Terry Brown, for decades.
