Beacon Falls had the privilege of welcoming home Army Sgt. 1st Class Glen Francoeur on Jan. 27 from a 10-month tour of duty at Guantanamo Bay.

Beacon Hose is honored to have been asked to escort Sgt. Francoeur through town when he arrived through town. Engine 3 and Rescue 4, along with Beacon Falls Police, met Sgt.

Happy New Year! We at Beacon Hose wish all of our members and supporters the very best success, health and wealth in 2016.

Here is a message from Chief Jim Trzaski, a message that reflects both the department and our supporters.
