The results of the linear thermal expansion studies on (CH_3NH_3)_5Bi_2Br_{11} single crystals in the temperature range 60-340 K are presented. The thermal anomaly in the vicinity of 77 K is assigned to the phase transition classified as close to first order type. The pyroelectric measurements of (CH_3NH_3)_5Bi_2Br_{11} were carried out in the range of 45-320 K along the a- and c-axis. The step-like change in the spontaneous polarization along the a-axis at 77 K indicates a discontinuous character of ferroelectric transition.
