Beacon Hose Announcing Passing of 60-Year Member Mitch Mulinski

April 14, 2026 Beacon Hose Leave a comment

Beacon Hose is incredibly saddened to announce the passing of Mitch Mulinski, who served our department for an incredible 61 years. Mitch peacefully passed at home Monday evening surrounded by his family.

Mitch joined Beacon Hose in April 1965, as the fire service ran in his family. He served as a firefighter for many years and dabbled on the ambulance for a time until he switched to our fire police unit in the 1980s. During that decade, Mitch became affectionately known as Photo 1. He was our department’s official photographer for several decades, leaving behind a treasure trove of photos documenting our company’s history.

Beacon Hose to Host Spring EMR Class

January 7, 2026 Beacon Hose 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!
