History

Strafford's volunteers provide fire protection and first-aid response. The town keeps a fire truck fund, which carries the loan for the department's 2019 International engine.

  1. 2019

    The department's International 4400 fire truck is bought, financed with a $288,806 loan.

  2. 2025

    Fire and FAST Squad calls combined, in keeping with recent years. With a Mascoma Bank grant the squad buys a used cardiac monitor for $7,500, where a new one would cost over $30,000. Two members take the Vermont Fire Academy's Firefighter I/II course.

    85 calls that year

Strafford in Orange County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 2 here, 23 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.

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.
