BROAD BROOK, CT Most people would have to look up the word quasquicentennial in the dictionary, or in more modern methods, Google it. It is the official term for a 125th anniversary, which is exactly what is being celebrated this year by the Broad Brook Volunteer Fire Department.
Chief Thomas Arcari, retired Chief Dave Lockwood and Assistant Chief Gerry Bancroft gathered recently with Patch to reminisce about the department s history, from raging infernos to a brush with Hollywood royalty.
