History

Medical calls are most of Lincoln's work, and the company makes mountain rescues too. It replaces a couple of sets of protective gear (about $3,000 each) and breathing apparatus (about $15,000 each) every year to stay close to national standards.

  1. 2025

    A Ripton firefighter who works in Lincoln joins for daytime calls and answers 44, the third most in the company. A letter campaign brings $24,615 in donations, and Shelburne's dispatch fee rises from about $1,100 to almost $4,000 a year.

    106 calls that year

Lincoln 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.

Money

The company asks the town for level funding and raises the rest itself.

Truck payments $18,299

EMS and fire equipment $12,512

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. 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.
