History

Fair Haven's firehouse is in a two-and-a-half-storey building that was once the town's high school. The department averages about 100 calls a year in town and on mutual aid with Benson, Castleton, Hubbardton, West Haven, and Hampton and Whitehall, New York.

  1. 2019

    79 calls in the district and 30 on mutual aid, including 11 structure fires in other towns. Lt. Steve Marcoux leaves for a career post with the Rutland City Fire Department.

    109 calls that year

  2. 2024

    70 calls in the district and 20 on mutual aid; members log 363 training hours. In March voters approve up to $600,000 for a new pumper-tanker, $236,000 from the fire equipment reserve and the rest borrowed from the town's general fund at 1%. It replaces a 1996 International/E-One, with a Freightliner chassis and an Alexis body due in late 2025.

    90 calls that year

  3. 2025

    The selectboard adopts a pay policy: members earn the state minimum wage from dispatch to release on alarms and at sanctioned training, with a one-hour minimum.

Fair Haven in Rutland County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 37 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, 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.
