Brookfield Fire Department headquarters. Larry Shapiro photo
The Brookfield Fire department in MABAS Division 10 has been added to the site. 24 career firefighters cover 3 square miles from two stations. Their suppression fleet is all E-ONE and they have two ambulances from LifeLine.
One interesting note is Reserve Engine 412 was built in 1986 by E-ONE on a chassis by Kovatch (KME) who had recently purchased the Hendrickson fire chassis. The cab is an 1871-W from the Hendrickson line before Kovatch began building their own.

Hunter,
The admins of the site update as their personal time allows. This is not a full-time job for them, they do a great job of keeping information flowing as they get it. If you want something specific updated that is not on the site, pass along the info or photos and they will get to it.

When will you guys do a big update with all the fire departments.

I would assume that both ambulances run first due. Didn’t see any reserve ambulance at either station.

Welcome aboard Brookfield. 414 is a 2006. The tracks that divide the village host 150 trains a day and units are regularly stopped by them on calls and routine movements. they respond to over 2100 runs ayear.

I don’t think 414 is a 2012.

Ahh ok I don’t know the background of it but since there’s tracks makes sense

There are 20,000 residents in Brookfield plus train tracks that split the town. It actually makes perfect sense to have 2 stations.

3 miles and two stations? Seems like one could do the job
