The department is a nonprofit serving Woodbury and Calais; Calais has slightly more of its calls. Members are paid a stipend of $12.50 a call, however long it lasts.
2025
Equipment moves into the new station on Route 14 on 25 January.
2026
At town meeting members report about 220 calls the year before. The new station, planned at 7,000 square feet, was cut to 4,100 to fit the funding; the old one, flooded in 2023 and 2024, couldn't be saved.
Woodbury in Washington 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.

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.
