With the projected large snow fall, Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company took steps this weekend to prepare for the storm.  They chained fire apparatus, checked fuel levels, ran power equipment and loaded up the snow blower. The Polaris Ranger UTV is ready to go as is the department's 4x4 Utility vehicles.

Brookfield has increased EMS staffing to assure that two full Paramedic Ambulances will be on duty until at least 6pm on Tuesday to get through the storm. The Fire Department will be dispatched to all EMS calls responding along with the Police Department and Public Works to assure adequate personnel to assist in patient care and removal.

The Pocono Road Headquarters is currently staffed with volunteer firefighters.  They ask residents and property owners that after the storm stops tomorrow to clear a 3-foot radius around any fire hydrant that's nearby.
