My name is Scott LaPrade, as of July 25th 2020, I retired as a 31 year-career firefighter in Leominster, MA chauffeur of Ladder 1. I have been photographing fires, and firefighters, in and around the New England area for over 30 years. My son Michael, has also contributed to this site. You can see mini clips of his work under the Video Gallery or visiting his facebook page LFDTheSeries. Michael now runs as a a perdiem firefighter with the Town of Auburn NH.

My web site is dedicated to my father, Keith E. LaPrade Jr., who passed away on July 11, 2006 at the age of 71. He retired in 1996, after 34 years as a Police Detective with the City of Leominster, MA. This web site gives me the opportunity to display the bravery of firefighters in everyday situations, no matter what city or town they are from.
