Last night at approximately 5:49 PM, the Barre Fire Department was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire. The caller advised that the fire was extending toward a nearby residence, prompting a Working Fire to be struck while units were en route and mutual aid partners were notified.

Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved vehicle in close proximity to the home, with no extension to the structure. Mutual aid was subsequently stood down, and Barre units (Engine 1, Engine 4, Engine 5, Ladder 1, and Ambulance 1) handled the incident.

The fire was quickly extinguished and overhauled, with no damage to the residence. Great work by all involved, and thank you to our mutual aid partners for always being ready to respond when needed.
