Beacon Hose’s favorite season is chock full of events in 2025. Here’s what’s coming this holiday season!

CHRISTMAS TREE SALE

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 a price to be determined. 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. We will update the prices when available.

We love making sure our Beacon Falls youngsters get a chance to meet Santa Claus before Christmas — and hopefully receive a gift from the big man, too!

Santa will visit Beacon Hose on Sunday, Dec. 14 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Families will be invited to drive around the firehouse, check in from the car, and drive into the firehouse where Santa will be awaiting with the gift(s)! You’ll be able to get out and meet (and get a complementary photo with) the big man!

Explore Beacon Hose’s History

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.
