The town of Brookfield is a small residential community of just over 3,400 people located 15 miles west of Worcester Massachusetts. The Fire Department is made up of 28 men and women including 26 paid on call members and 2 career employees.
The department is structured as follows: Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, one Captain, three Lieutenants, 19 Firefighters, and 3 Auxiliary personnel.
The department provides fire suppression, rescue, and hazardous materials response in addition to code enforcement inspections and fire prevention activities. We operate three fire engines, a water tender, three forest fire units, a squad, a utility vehicle, and a boat out of one station located at 4 Central St.
The department was organized in 1855, enjoying a long history of commitment and service to the community.
Emergency medical response and transport is provided at the paramedic level by Brookfield Emergency Medical Services, a municipal agency housed in the fire station. A majority of the EMS providers also serve as firefighters. Both agencies are committed to providing the highest quality of professional service possible to the citizens we serve.
Open burning season begins on January 15th and continues through May 1st. Please see our Prevention page for open burning regulations and instructions on how to obtain a burning permit.
