Georgia's line runs out into the water, and 5.91 of the
45.25 square miles inside it are water. The land figure is the
Census count; the total is the boundary VCGI draws.
Georgia's department answers fire and emergency medical calls from its station on Ethan Allen Highway. Jim Bryce, who died in 2024, donated the building and provided a crew to build it. Its trucks are replaced every 20 years, spaced five years apart, so only one is ever being financed.
2021
The department buys its ladder truck from the St. Albans Town Fire Department. It goes into service in July and, by early 2025, has answered 80 incidents, 17 of them building fires.

Calendar years, from the chief's report to town meeting.
Georgia in Franklin County. Every fire station in the county is marked —
1 here, 13 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.
Working here
The department looks for firefighters, EMS providers and cadets aged 14 to 17.

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.

Nothing is written up here for burn permits, budget.
Not because it does not exist — because nobody has typed it in. If you know this
