Two weeks away!! Can’t wait to see you there!!

Today we said our final good byes to retired Chief of the Plainfield Fire Department and retired Deputy Chief of Mortlake Leo Berube. Many of us had the honor of serving along side him in town. He spent more than 40 years in the fire service serving Plainfield and Brooklyn. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fire department families. Rest easy Chief, we will take it from here.

It is with deep sadness that we honor the memory of Deputy Chief Berube. For over 15 years, his dedicated leadership and unwavering service helped keep our community safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Thank you for your years of service, Chief. We’ve got the watch from here. Rest in peace.

🚨 Joint Training Recap: High-Speed MVA Extrication 🚨

Last night, the East Brooklyn Fire Department teamed up with Mortlake Fire Company for an intensive, scenario-based Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) drill at the Brooklyn Transfer Station.

📋 The Scenario
A single vehicle traveling at approximately 60 mph struck a stopped semi-truck while traveling on RTE 6.
Driver: 29-year-old restrained driver with physical entrapment.
Passenger: 26-year-old unrestrained passenger in the rear seat.

🎯 The Objective
Rapid scene size-up, medical triage, physical extrication, and patient care.
Our crews rolled up as they would on a real call, quickly assessing the scene, identifying patient priority levels, requesting necessary additional resources, and executing safe, effective extrications for both patients while delivering immediate medical care.
Joint training like this keeps our skills sharp, ensures smooth multi-agency coordination, and gives our newer members hands-on experience in complex rescue operations.

🚒 Want to Make a Difference in Your Community?
We are always looking for dedicated individuals to join our team! Whether you're interested in firefighting, emergency medical care, or support roles, there's a place for you here.
When: Every Monday night at 7:00 PM

In the month of June, our department responded to 52 calls, with more than 30 of those being medical emergencies. Behind every call is a neighbor, friend, or family member who needed help—and we’re honored to be there when our community calls.

As our call volume continues to grow, so does our need for dedicated volunteers. If you’ve ever considered joining the department, we’d love to have you. Whether you’re interested in firefighting, EMS, or simply giving back to the town you call home, we’ll provide the training and support you need.

Volunteering is more than answering calls—it’s serving your neighbors, building lifelong friendships, and making a real difference right here at home.

If you’re interested in learning more, send us a message or stop by. We’d love to meet you.
