History

Fire protection in Johnson is a village service, paid for by the village tax with a contract from the town and an appropriation from Waterville. The department saves toward trucks and small tools through two capital plans.

  1. 2020

    New air packs (SCBA) replace the old set, chosen after trials of three vendors' gear at the training facility and paid for from the small-tools capital plan. The department asks for a 3% ($2,643) increase for 2021.

Johnson in Lamoille County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 7 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.

Contact

Chief
Arjay West (2020 report)

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 joining, 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.
