It’s been a busy couple of weeks for our brothers at the Naugatuck Fire Department, and Beacon Hose has been called to provide mutual aid at four fires during that time.

The biggest and most recent response came Feb. 13 at the Meadowland Estates condominiums on Horton Hill Road for a working structure fire.

The fire started at around 6 a.m. in the basement of a middle unit and spread to the first floor, second floor and attic. Engine 3 was dispatched at 6:28 a.m.

Update: Thanks for your help!

We have already begun to plan this year’s Beacon Hose Firemen’s Carnival and Parade, which has been a yearly tradition in our community since 1963. This year’s event will take place from June 9-11 on the firehouse grounds. We’ll have lots more information coming, but we need some help as we work out the details for this summer.

For the first time, we’ve put together a 10-question survey that we’re opening up to our residents and carnival-goers. It only takes about five minutes to complete, and each result will help us make necessary changes and improvements to the event.

Francoeur’s vehicle at the end of the off-ramp and flanked his family through the center of town. Beacon Hose members, dignitaries and residents alike lined the street in front of the firehouse to show their gratitude for his service.

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.

It is hard for me to express how impressed, inspired, sometimes surprised and, most importantly, thankful I am of all of our members. I have always been proud to be a member of our great company, but I am even prouder and more humbled to be leading an organization of great, dedicated people.

I know oftentimes we struggle with balancing the time commitments that our placed on our membership. At any given time during our careers, our lives change and we have higher priorities that consume our time. At Beacon Hose, we understand those obligations. Please, always remember: family first.
