Candlewood Company's Marine 25 boat put into service for season

Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department Candlewood Company’s Marine 25 boat went into service this week for the 2020 boating season. This is going to be the first full year with the vessel.  Fire Company officials say it includes features unique to any fire/rescue boat in the area like side scan sonar.  Firefighters spent the last few weeks getting the boat ready after being stored for the winter, and training for the upcoming season on Candlewood and Lake Lillinonah.  Because of the current public health emergency, several changes have been made this year.  The boat will be regularly disinfected by crew members after each call, and during weekly checks.  Brookfield ambulances respond to all medical calls on the lake, but now the boat has been stocked with equipment to help limit exposure risks
