Easter Meat-O to Return April 12

Leave a comment

Beacon Hose is set to bring back the springtime edition of one of our most popular events: the Easter Meat-O!

Our Easter Meat-O night will be Saturday, April 12, from 6-9 p.m. at the firehouse. A $10 admission fee buys you a seat, and we’ll have light refreshments. The features of the night are games of chance to win something special for your Easter table. We’ll have meats, seafood, raffle baskets, mystery eggs, and more up for grabs!

We do require a head count if you plan on coming because space is limited. Only those 21 and older are allowed, and the event is BYOB (alcohol is allowed) and BYOS (snacks!). To give us 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 April 9.

Beacon Hose is now seeking applicants for a full-time firefighter/EMT! This paid position will continue to staff Beacon Hose during weekdays as we’ve done for nearly 20 years.

Interested candidates must submit a letter of interest, a resume, copies of all necessary certifications (including Firefighter 1, EMT, CPR, and a Q or CDL license), and three letters of recommendation to our Chief’s Office by March 21, 2025. They can be sent to the firehouse (35 North Main Street, Beacon Falls) or to cobrennan@beaconfallsct.org.

This is a Monday-Friday daytime position. Candidates must have at least two years of experience as an EMT. A full job posting, complete with duties and requirements as well as preferred qualifications, can be found by clicking here.

Beacon Hose’s daytime captain, Connor Banks, has accepted a new position with another service and will spend his last day as our daytime captain on March 21, although he will remain on our crew as a volunteer. We can’t thank him enough for all the work he’s done not only at Beacon Hose but throughout our community for many years!

Leave a comment

Beacon Hose will host a spring EMT course that runs Thursdays and Sundays — and enrollment is open until March 10!

The course will run from March 16-May 30, 2025. Classes will be held at Beacon Hose’s Station 2 on Railroad Avenue on Sundays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 6-10 p.m.

The course fee is $975, which includes books (with online access), a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope, CPR/AED certification, a number of other mandatory trainings (emergency driving, sex trafficking, mental health), and a uniform shirt.

This class is open to any Connecticut resident 16 and older, 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 EMT not only gives you lifesaving skills to help others, but it can also lead to rewarding career opportunities. The deadline to register is March 13.

If you’re interested in signing up or learning more about the course, click here to fill out the application or send an email to Connor Banks at cbanks@beaconfallsct.org.
