History

Most calls are medical: Vershire's EMTs stabilise and monitor patients until the ambulance arrives. Fundraising from Vershire Day and coin drops goes into a capital fund, so trucks can be replaced without debt.

  1. 2025

    The department and West Fairlee Volunteer Fire Department answer 225 calls. Voters exempt the station from property tax for five years. A grant writer is engaged to replace the breathing apparatus.

Vershire in Orange County. Every fire station in the county is marked — 1 here, 24 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.

Voters set the department's appropriation each year by Australian ballot.

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, call volume. 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.
