RSVPs are required. Only those 21 and older are allowed, and the event is BYOB (alcohol is allowed) and BYOS (snacks!). To RSVP with your head count, please complete the form below, message us on social media, call the firehouse (203-729-1470), or email info@beaconhose.com by Wednesday, March 25.

Beacon Hose to Host Spring EMR Class

Leave a comment

UPDATE: The class is full and registration is now closed.

Beacon Hose will host an EMR class beginning in February — enrollment is open now!

Classes will be held at Beacon Hose on Thursday evenings (6-10 p.m. nightly) and Saturday mornings (8 a.m.-12 p.m.) through April 25. The course will be taught by experienced ALS and BLS instructors who remain extremely active in responding to calls in our area.

The course fee is $600, which includes books (with online access), a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope, CPR/AED certification, and the required sex trafficking and mental health courses.

This class is open to any Connecticut resident, not just those from Beacon Falls. While membership at Beacon Hose is not required, the course could lead to an opportunity to join our department, too! Becoming an EMR not only gives you lifesaving skills to help others, but it can also lead to rewarding career opportunities.

If you’re interested in signing up or learning more about the course, send an email to beaconhosetraining1@gmail.com or complete this Google Form and we’ll get you started!

Another year, another look back at Beacon Hose’s best photos from the past 365 days! We continue our annual tradition by sharing our top 10 photos of 2025 in chronological order.

Beacon Hose’s year included some major fires — including a January blaze on Skokorat Road and a July mutual-aid response to Naugatuck — as well as engaging trainings, annual events like our parade and Christmas bonfire, and even a duck rescue at Beacon Mill Village!

We wish all of our members, neighbors, and friends much happiness, safety, health, and prosperity in 2026! Happy New Year!

Our longtime tradition of the Christmas tree sale will return to our parking lot on weekends after Thanksgiving. We’ll open up Black Friday, and then we’ll be here Saturdays and Sundays thereafter until we’re sold out. We are open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. during the sale.

Fresh-cut Fraser fir trees will be on sale for $75 each once again. As always, we offer custom tree trimming and free delivery to Beacon Falls residents. We will also have cemetery boxes. Cash, checks, cards, and digital payments are accepted.

The local Cub Scouts will also sell 12-inch wreaths and 18-20-inch wreaths in varying prices.
