Brookfield Warming Centers Open Thru Noon Saturday

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Town of Brookfield will be extending the hours of operations for its warming centers, in compliance with Gov. Ned Lamont's extension of the state's cold weather protocol.

The local warming centers will remain open through noon Saturday, Jan. 25.

The protocol went into effect on Sunday, Jan. 19, and had originally been set to expire on the afternoon of Jan. 24.

Brookfield's Warming Centers and hours:

Brookfield YMCA: 2 Huckleberry Hill Road, 203-775-4444

Brookfield Library: 182 Whisconier Road, 203-775-6241

Brookfield Senior Center: 100 Pocono Road, 203-775-5308

Shelters and warming centers are open throughout Connecticut. Anyone in need of a place to stay warm can be directed to nearby locations by calling 211 or viewing the list of available options that has been published online at 211ct.org. Transportation can be provided to a shelter or warming center if needed.

While activated, the state's cold weather protocol initiates a series of actions to ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive protection from the severe cold, which could be life-threatening if exposed to the elements for extended periods of time.
