This spring, Beacon Hose embarked on a project to renovate our firehouse conference. One of the motivations was to create a museum honoring our department’s history over more than 125 years.

Beacon Hose Co. No. 1 was formed on May 11, 1899. It was organized by 20 men in the cutting room of the Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe Company three months after a fire razed all the buildings of the nearby Homer D. Bronson Company. Since then, Beacon Hose has become the centerpiece of our community, protecting our neighbors from emergencies and helping to create our unique small-town atmosphere.

Photos from some of our most memorable calls are also below.
