Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company participated in required annual equipment testing last week.  That included hose, appliance/nozzle , ground ladder and pump testing.  Waterway of the Hudson Valley was contracted as a third party evaluator to conduct the work. Several volunteers were also required to assist and over the two days spent nearly 20 hours on this effort. This testing is a mandate from NFPA and OSHA and is done to assure the equipment is serviceable and safe.
