Worcester County Firefighters' Emerald Society

Irish American Firefighters of Worcester County, Massachusetts

The Worcester County Firefighters' Emerald Society offers unique cultural, social and educational opportunities to its membership. Throughout the year, we encourage our membership to take an active role in participating in charitable events for the community, marching in parades and attending a host of Irish events throughout New England. The WCFFES plays a dual role in the community, both of which are of equal importance. With our Irish ancestors playing such a pivotal role in the organization of the Fire Service in America, we refuse to let their history, traditions and ideals fade away. We celebrate their strong will to provide a service to their community against all adversity. On the other side, we are one of very few organizations in Central Massachusetts that assists Irish Americans with discovering more of their roots and actually connecting them with the "Old Sod".
