    February 22 in our past: Featuring our firefighters

    The Midway area was served by firefighters from different stations, including Main Street, the Beach, and Greenwood Avenue. Today we are featuring the East Toronto Fire Department. East Toronto was a town in its own right, later absorbed by the City of Toronto.
