Town of Brookield Fire Department

I would like to thank you for taking the time to review our 2011 Annual Report. Once again, the members of the Town of Brookfield Fire Department (TBFD) take great pride in serving this community and we are extremely proud of our department and the quality of our service.
Hopefully you took a moment to look at the two pictures on the cover of this year’s annual report. The pictures show most, although not all, of the members of this department. These pictures were taken this last fall during our department-wide training at the Wauwatosa Fire Department training facility. The members in these pictures represent the firefighters, paramedics, heavy equipment operators, and officers that provide critical emergency services to the Town of Brookfield every day. I’m sure if you talk to any firefighter they will tell you that they get the greatest satisfaction from their job when they are able to use the knowledge, skills, and abilities they train on daily. There is however much more that goes into what we do than responding to an emergency event. This department could not function if it was not for the many members of the department that contribute in areas that do not get much recognition. Therefore I would like to take this year’s letter to recognize these members and let you know the critical tasks they carry out to make this department perform at the highest level possible day in and day out.

Like anyone expressing thanks and recognition there are always people that get forgotten. Therefore, I would like to recognize and thank all the members of the TBFD that perform their job for this department and community.
