Update: Thank you for your support!

For decades, Beacon Falls’ social event of the year was the annual Beacon Hose firemen’s ball. Like many traditions, our ball faded out over the years, and we haven’t held one in about 15 years.

We think it’s time for that to change — the ball is back!

Our neighbors from Beacon Falls and our friends from departments throughout the area are invited to celebrate with Beacon Hose on Saturday, Sept. 28, at beautiful Villa Bianca in Seymour as we revive one of our favorite traditions.

Reflecting on the 1-Year Anniversary of the May 2018 Tornado

Leave a comment

May 15, 2018 … one of the craziest days (and weeks) in the history of Beacon Falls. An F-1 tornado ripped through town, leaving more than 95 percent of our community without power and still leaving its scars in many locations across town. Bear with us for a minute as we remember that wild week and offer a whole lot of appreciation.

Luckily, there were no serious injuries and we all know that the storm could have been a lot worse in so many ways.
