Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company is offering some reminders for people still taking to the water this fall.   From October 1st through May 31st, everyone in a canoe or kayak must wear a life jacket or personal flotation device.  There must be one aborad for each person, in the proper size and in good condition.  All children 12 and under must wear a Life Jacket.  In case of a capsize, Brookfield firefighters urge people to stay with the canoe or kayak, and if in a strong current, float down river feet first and toes up with the vessel ahead of you. They urged everyone to know the conditions before setting out and paddle within abilities.
