Back in May of 2025 the Glover Fire Department received a large donation from Dorothy Mae Vernon Lydecker Westdyke, a Glover resident several decades ago. We are happy to report that a large portion of the donation was put to good use - as we had planned! The first picture shows three sets of turnout gear (Pants, Coat, Boots, Helmet) that were purchased with some of the donation money. The three sets (plus two more helmets) cost a total of $13,300. These replace turnout gear that was purchased in 2003 and is well past its 10 year expiration date! The other pictures show some much needed tools to supplement or replace some others that are past their useful life. These included cut-off saws, chainsaws, a vacuum, a leaf blower (for grass fires!), and a folding ladder. Thank you "Dottie"! And thanks to Firematic for your help with the turnout gear purchases.

Please drive carefully this morning. Remember, Vermont has a “safe roads” policy, not a “clear roads” policy and with the snowfall rate, it will take some time for the plows to get and keep the roads "safe". Our neighboring department is out at this crash at Exit 25 in Barton. Slow down. Drive safe!

On 12/29/25 at 9:57 am Glover Fire Department was dispatched to Halsey Lane in Glover for a structure fire. Engine 1, Rescue 1, and Tanker 1 responded to the fire scene while Engine 3 set up a water supply site at the Shadow Lake dry hydrant. Tanker 2 remained in the station due to the road conditions. Mutual Aid was immediately requested from Orleans Fire Department, Greensboro Fire Department, Albany Fire Department, and Craftsbury Fire Department for tankers and manpower. An additional call was made for tankers from Hardwick Fire Department and Irasburg Fire Department. The extreme challenge was getting to this fire scene. A big thank you to the Glover Town Road crew for the numerous passes for both plowing and sanding both at the scene and on Shadow Lake Road. Unfortunately the house, garage, and two vehicles were a total loss. Also a thank you to the Glover Ambulance Squad, Inc for the standby and to Curriers Quality Market for the coffee and sandwiches
