Fire Contained by Sprinkler System at 76 Depot Street; Five Residential Units Displaced

At approximately 3:58 a.m. on November 3, 2025, the Lyndonville Fire Department
responded to a commercial fire alarm activation at 76 Depot Street in Lyndon. Upon arrival,
responding companies encountered significant smoke conditions on the third floor of the
building. Firefighters immediately initiated an evacuation of residents to a safe location.

Crews located a fire in a back room of a 3rd floor unit, originating in a wastebasket next to a
chair. One sprinkler head activated and successfully contained the fire. Interior teams
extinguished the remaining fire and secured the sprinkler system after confirming the incident was fully under control.

Due to water damage from the sprinkler activation, five residential units will require
temporary relocation. The building’s fire alarm and sprinkler systems have since been
inspected and returned to service by licensed professionals.

The cause of the fire is classified as undetermined, but it has been determined to be
accidental in nature.

The Lyndonville Fire Department would like to remind the public to properly dispose of
smoking materials and to ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed and functioning. Today’s incident is a clear example of how working fire alarm systems and
automatic sprinklers save lives and prevent extensive property loss.

Incident Number: 25LYFD000186

🔥 Burn Ban Lifted Across Vermont 🔥

The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation has lifted the statewide debris burn ban that went into effect on September 22, 2025.

Recent rainfall has helped lower wildfire danger across the state, and Town Forest Fire Wardens may now issue burn permits again. Please note that permits are still required, and local conditions may vary — wardens may choose to restrict burning if needed.

Although the ban has been lifted, we remind everyone to use caution when burning debris or enjoying campfires. Make sure all fires are fully extinguished and never left unattended.

Please call the LFD Duty officer for Burn Permits at 802.745.8844

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation during the dry conditions and your continued commitment to fire safety.

For the latest fire danger forecast and safety information, visit the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation website.
