History

Hancock's volunteer department answers the town's emergencies and helps run its community events, from the summer concerts on the green to Trunk or Treat and the tree lighting.

    On 4 March Town Meeting adds $3,000 to the fire department's budget, and agrees to roll any surplus into the Fire Department Equipment Fund for future trucks. Ryan Veilleux leaves after 15 years of service.

Hancock in Addison County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 22 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 is looking for more volunteers, and for people to start a first responder team.

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.
