Brookfield, MA — January 17th — As the winter weather continued to affect traffic conditions around the region, the Brookfield Fire Department responded to a car accident. When crews arrived, they discovered a single-vehicle collision and collaborated with EMS and police to secure the area. After being assessed, the motorist was found to be unharmed. Before resolving the situation and resuming their duties, firefighters helped with hazard control and scene safety.

Emergency personnel continued to manage weather-related events when conditions deteriorated, even if some travel earlier in the day went smoothly.
