*  Fire Trucks, Flight for Life and more!

On Sunday, October 5th, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm, the Town of Brookfield Fire Department is again excited to open its doors for a fun and free family event! 

This is an annual event going back decades to promote the National Fire Prevention Association's (NFPA) annual Fire Prevention Week.   This year's theme is preventing home fires. 

Flight for Life will be making a special landing at 12:00 noon; this will give guests a chance to get up close and meet the flight crew as well as see this incredible piece of machinery.

There will be live demonstrations on the use of many tools that the fire department relies on daily such as the jaws of life at 1:15pm.

If children are in need of new bike helmets, this is the place to shop!  We have many styles to choose from all for only $10.00 each.

The town has many special surprises this year for the kids! Balloons, treats, a giant fire truck slide and more!

Lunch will be available all day, hot dogs, soda, cotton candy and popcorn.

Pet moms and dads should stop by and ask for free ASPCA window clings which notify emergency personnel that there is a pet in the home that needs help too!

Town residents who are a senior citizens or parents of young children qualify for a free smoke detector and battery at this special event. They can even schedule to have fire personnel stop at their home to do a free fire inspection.
