🚒 TRAINING TODAY SAVES LIVES TOMORROW 🚒

Two weeks ago, members of the Town of Burlington Fire Department had the opportunity to participate in hands-on vehicle stabilization and extrication training, made possible through the generous donation of two vehicles from Redmer & Sons Recycling and Auto Core.

Our department members worked through a variety of scenarios, practicing different stabilization, extrication, and rescue techniques. Training with real vehicles allows our firefighters to build the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to respond when someone’s life may depend on us.

These training opportunities—and the generous donations that make them possible—help ensure our members are prepared to get the job done correctly, safely, and as quickly as possible.

⏱️ TIME IS LIFE!

The Town of Burlington Fire Department would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to Redmer & Sons Recycling and Auto Core, our community, and all of our department members for their continued support and dedication.

Your support helps us train.
Our training helps us serve.
And together, we help keep our community safe. ❤️‍🔥

Town of Burlington Fire Department
🚒 Serving our community with dedication, training, and pride.

Members of the Town of Burlington Fire Department responded late this morning to a mutual aid request from Twin Lakes Fire Department for a change of quarters.
Our members provided coverage for the Twin Lakes area while their crews were committed to house fire.
The Town of Burlington Fire Department also called for mutual aid early this evening for a stove fire. Members were able to quickly extinguished the fire. Everyone was able to evacuate and are safe.
We’re proud to work alongside our neighboring departments to ensure all of our communities continue to have fire and emergency services coverage when it’s needed.

🚍 SCHOOL BUS SAFETY — KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

As students head back to school, the Town of Burlington Fire Department reminds everyone to slow down, stay alert, and know what those flashing school bus lights mean.

🟡 AMBER FLASHING LIGHTS
The bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop.

🔴 RED FLASHING LIGHTS
STOP! Stop at least 20 feet from the school bus from either direction.

A few extra seconds of patience can help protect the children in our community. Never pass a school bus with its red lights flashing.

SLOW DOWN. PAY ATTENTION. SAVE LIVES.

Please share this reminder and help us keep children safe! ❤️

We are proud of our volunteers and grateful for everything they do for the Town of Burlington and the surrounding communities.

With the new school year coming up, let’s all team up to keep our kids safe getting to and from school. Please slow down, stay alert, and remember that school buses stop often to pick up and drop off students.

💧 Electrolytes are important! 💧

With all the gear our department members wear on every call, even a cool day can lead to sweating and dehydration. Taking care of our bodies and replenishing what we lose helps us recover and stay ready for the next call.

That’s why we’re so grateful to DripDrop and National Volunteer Fire Council for their generous donation of electrolytes to our department from the 2026 DripDrop Hydration Giveback Campaign!

From ALL of us at TOBFD, thank you, DripDrop and NVFC, for supporting our firefighters and helping keep our members hydrated and ready to serve our community! 🚒💦

Thank you for supporting TOBFD! ❤️
