The station finished in 2006: Engine 1, a 2008 Pierce, and Engine 2, a 2019 Pierce (both 1,500 gpm, 1,000 gallons); Tanker 1, a 2006 KME/International with 2,500 gallons; a utility pickup, a brush truck, an off-road rescue unit and a water rescue trailer. Source
Guilford's first fire truck was a 1949 Chevrolet with a 500-gallon tank that used to be an oil tank; strangers were sometimes surprised to see a truck that seemed to be pumping oil onto a fire.
1949
Residents form the Broad Brook Fire Control; two weeks later it becomes the Guilford Volunteer Fire Department. The truck lives in a barn.
1957
A firehouse is finished on Guilford Center Road, begun in 1954.
1999
The department starts helping Rescue Inc. on medical calls in town.
2004
With enough members certified, it becomes the town's EMS service; Rescue Inc. still transports.
2006
A new station is finished after the old one, too small for new trucks (Tanker 1 stood three inches taller than its doors), was demolished in 2005.
Guilford in Windham County. Every fire station in the county is marked —
1 here, 29 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
Firefighters and EMTs need Vermont certification and annual training hours.
Training every Tuesday evening
Juniors from 16, living in or near Guilford, with at least a learner's permit; not on interstate or mutual aid calls, or after 9:30 p.m. on school nights
Call (802) 254-4413 or email guilford.fire@gmail.com
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.

Not recorded yet
Nothing is written up here for 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.
