The town of Brookfield is a small residential community of approximately 3,200 people located 20 miles west of Worcester Massachusetts. The Fire Department is made up of 27 men and women who provide 24 hour fire protection on a largely call basis. The Department is structured as follows.... Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, 2 Captains, 3 Lieutenants, and 20 Firefighters. The department provides fire, rescue, and hazardous materials response in addition to inspections and fire prevention activities. We operate 3 engines, a tanker, 3 forest fire units, and a light rescue out of one station. The department was organized in 1855, enjoying a long history of commitment and service to the community. Emergency medical response is provided at the paramedic level by Brookfield Emergency Medical Services, a municipal agency housed in the fire station. Both Departments are committed to providing the highest quality of professional service possible to the citizens we serve. |
