City of Malden
Fire Chief William Sullivan, Fire Commissioner Emery Haskell and a contingent of Malden firefighters welcomed Mayor Gary Christenson, members of the State Legislative Delegation, City Council, fire chiefs from neighboring departments and residents to dedicate a plaque in honor of James G. Fagan, who died in the line of duty in 1868.
The event took place at the corner of High and Ferry streets, the very place where a horrific fire burned that caused the death of Firefighter Fagen.
Born on April 8, 1844, to Irish Immigrants, the Fagan family lived at 19 Irving St. Fagan joined the Malden Fire Department as a member of the Wannalancet Steam Fire Engine No. 1. The “Wannalancet” was quartered in a small wood frame, one bay fire station located on Pleasant Street, in Malden Square where the Dowling Building currently stands.
Eileen McDonnell, the Chairman & CEO of Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, discusses her Irish heritage, breaking the glass ceiling, and the way forward.
When parents tell their children that they can do anything, it’s all too often taken with too many grains of salt. But Eileen McDonnell believed her parents. She had no reason not to. And it served her well. When she was applying for a vice president job, a position held by no other women in the company, she brushed off people citing her gender as a reason she wouldn’t get it, telling them that it was irrelevant. They may as well have been saying she was unqualified because she had had chicken for dinner the night before. She knew she could do the job, and that was the only qualification that mattered.
