New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department took advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and got some extra training in.  Members took their Marine 17 vessel out on the waters for driver training.

New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department responded to a brush fire this weekend.  It was started by hot ashes dumped outside in dry leaves.  Firefighters reminded residents using fireplaces or wood burning stoves to dispose of ashes properly, in a metal container, as the embers can remain hot for days.
