There was a large brush fire in Brookfield Saturday night between houses on South Lake Shore Drive in the Candlewood Shores Neighborhood.  Brookfield's volunteer fire companies were dispatched to the area and were on the scene for about an hour. 

Smoke filled a Brookfield home yesterday morning, and firefighters also found elevated levels of carbon monoxide.  Firefighters responded to a Powder Horn Hill Road home and traced the problem to an issue with the oil burner. The structure was ventilated and metered.  They were on scene for about an hour.

Shortly after midnight yesterday Brookfield firefighters responded to a smoky condition in a Christian Lane home.  Arriving units found a moderate smoke condition on the first floor which was traced to a problem with the furnace. The structure was ventilated and metered. 

Fire officials say these incidents demonstrate the importance of having functioning smoke alarms and Carbon Monoxide alarms.
