History

The Alburgh Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is its own organisation rather than a town department, so it can't use municipal financing. Its chief is also the town fire warden.

  1. 2023

    The department asks the Selectboard to take out municipal financing for a new pumper costing $603,000, to be repaid from the department's capital equipment fund. The board tables the request.

  2. 2025

    The annual Alburgh fire training school, held at the station and Alburgh School, asks the town for a permanent training facility made from a 40-foot shipping container.

Alburgh in Grand Isle County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 5 in neighbouring towns, which is who turns out on a mutual aid call. Boundaries and water from VCGI; fire district lines are not town lines, and village districts and contracted coverage cross them. A town line runs out into the lake, so the shoreline here is the water drawn over the boundary, not the boundary itself.

Burning

Vermont requires a Permit to Kindle Fire from the town’s Forest Fire Warden for anything larger than a campfire — except where snow covers the ground at the burn site, or the fire is at least 200 feet from anything that will carry flame. Wardens can suspend burning outright when fire danger is high. Who to ask locally is recorded department by department; where it is blank below, the fire department itself is the place to start.

Not recorded yet

Nothing is written up here for joining, burn permits, call volume, budget. Not because it does not exist — because nobody has typed it in. If you know this department, tell us and it goes on the record with its source named.
