Alburgh's line runs out into the water, and 18.36 of the
47.51 square miles inside it are water. The land figure is the
Census count; the total is the boundary VCGI draws.
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.
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.
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.
In an emergency dial 911. These are business lines.
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.
For residents
