Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department

Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department The PVFD is an all-volunteer, nonprofit emergency services organization proudly serving Pawlet, VT

The Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department responds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to fires and other emergencies in Pawlet. We also assist the fire departments of other surrounding communities through a system of mutual aid, enhancing preparedness throughout the region. Our department is one of nine fire departments in Vermont dispatched by the Washington County Department of Public Safety. We are an

all-volunteer outfit, comprised entirely of citizens of our town who donate their time without compensation. The Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, financed in part by taxes allocated by the town, in part by fundraising events, and in part by the generous donations of individuals and businesses in our region.

On Monday, Lieutenant Matthew Burzon and Firefighter Scott Wittman spent the evening training on Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator principles. A lot more than just driving goes into driving a fire truck: on-scene positioning, pump operations, drafting and hydrant operations, radio communications, and safe vehicle handling are just a few of the many considerations. Hands-on, one-on-one training ensures safe, effective operation of our equipment in the field.

Thanks to Matthew and Scott for putting in the time to strengthen our department!
