History

A combined fire and rescue squad answering medical emergencies, fires, crashes and wellness checks, and giving mutual aid to neighbouring towns.

  1. 2024

    Over 3,000 volunteer hours. Two members certify as Emergency Medical Responders and two begin Firefighter 1. The squad replaces gas-powered tools with a cordless battery system, new lights, fans, heaters and chainsaws, and puts new furnaces in the truck bays.

    148 calls that year

Jamaica 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.

Money

The operating budget is financed largely by the town of Jamaica.

2024, as described by the department
Regional dispatch membership $23,700
Fire department building $20,000
Equipment maintenance $17,000
Insurance $10,000

Of a $110,000 operating budget; the department notes little is left to replace worn-out equipment.

Town appropriation
Fiscal 2025–26 (proposed) $109,725

The same as the amount voted for 2024–25.

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. 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.
