Chief Jim Trzaski’s New Year’s Message for 2017

Leave a comment

We hope everyone is off to a terrific start in 2017. Beacon Hose Chief Jim Trzaski recently shared a few words with our members to look back at 2016 and look forward to this year.

2016 was a busy and rewarding year for Beacon Hose. I always say that Beacon Hose is a multi-faceted organization, and 2016 was no exception.

Leave a comment

Update: Thanks for your support! Merry Christmas!

The annual tradition that is Beacon Hose helping our neighbors celebrate Christmas is returning once again to the firehouse with the start of our Christmas tree sales!

The sale will begin this year with a special Black Friday sale for those looking to get a head start on the Christmas season. We’ll continue Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 26-27) and the two weekends after that (Dec. 3-4, Dec. 10-11) until supplies run out. We’ll be at the firehouse each day of the sale from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The fresh-cut trees cost $45 each, and free delivery is available to all Beacon Falls residents. We’ll also custom trim any tree to specifications. Those who would like to buy a Christmas tree without leaving their own home can also call the firehouse at (203) 729-1470 during any of the sale hours.

Update: Thanks for your support! Merry Christmas!

One of Beacon Hose’s most rewarding events is coming back again on Saturday, Dec. 10 — yep, it’s our Bring Santa Home campaign!

Those interested in having Santa Claus visit your home in a firetruck should email us at bringsantahome@beaconhose.com or give one of our co-chairs a call or text — Taylor Docimo at (203) 490-5987 or Jackie Fitzpatrick at (203) 560-0090 — to set it up. They’ll give you all the secret details, including the timeline of the morning’s visits and the previous evening’s gift drop-offs. We’d like you to make the arrangements ASAP, but the deadline is Dec. 9. We ask for a donation of $20 per visit to help support our Christmastime programs.
