The Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company recently put into place policies to help protect patients and firefighters.  The fire company is currently not allowing anyone but the patient to be riding in the ambulance, excluding certain circumstances. Exceptions will be made for children and their parents, or patients that need any type of aid to accompany them. Nuvance Health is also restricting visitors in the hospitals at this time due to an influx in flu like cases and the need to also reduce the potential of any community spread of the seasonal illnesses.
