Whitingham's line runs out into the water, and 2.33 of the
39.13 square miles inside it are water. The land figure is the
Census count; the total is the boundary VCGI draws.
Whitingham's volunteers cover the town from two stations and give mutual aid to neighbours in Vermont and Massachusetts, from Dover and Readsboro to Rowe and Monroe.
2024
A new GMC brush truck, Brush 1, replaces the Suburban and is housed at the Whitingham station. Capt. Dennis Pike wins a grant for a new air pack, alongside six more the department buys; three more will complete the replacement.
207 calls that year
Whitingham in Windham County. Every fire station in the county is marked —
3 here, 27 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 fire department is run by the town, which votes its operating money and an equipment fund each March.

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.
