History

Groton's members are certified firefighters and EMTs. The town also runs the Groton/Ryegate FAST Squad for medical calls, and the department joins Ryegate and Wells River for an annual prevention program at Blue Mountain Union School.

  1. 2024

    "40 plus" calls. The July flood washes out two dry hydrants, at Cold Water Brook and behind Clark's Landing. The fire station gets a new roof, extended over the east entry and the generator. Eight members certify as traffic control flaggers, and others train in CPR and ice rescue.

    About 40 calls that year

  2. 2025

    Wayne Knott, chief through 2024, is named Honorary Fire Chief.

Groton in Caledonia County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 14 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

Members can train as firefighters or help with non-firefighting work.

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 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.
