Old Brookfield fire boat sold, put into service in Illinois

Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department Candlewood Company sold its current Marine 25 fire boat last month to the Havana Fire Department in Illinois.  Marine 25 first went in service for Candlewood Company in 2005 and since then has responded to numerous emergencies on Candlewood Lake and Lake Lillinonah.  The custom fire/rescue boat was twenty-five feet long and featured a jet-drive propulsion system, as well as a landing-craft style drop down bow-gate to allow for easy water access.  Members of Candlewood Company said its goodbyes to Marine 25, as it goes into service in a new community and sets sail on the Illinois river.
