Weathersfield Fire Department

We have seen a decline in volunteers across the state and the country. Although we have been able to adapt to some degree to continue answering calls for service we also welcome new additions to the team. It can be demanding but also alot of fun at the same time.

Fire departments are struggling to recruit volunteer firefighters. Here's what you need to know about the nationwide shortage https://www.investigatetv.com/2026/06/11/volunteer-firefighter-shortage-threatens-communities-nationwide/

The Weathersfield Fire Department has responded to 6 calls in the last 20 hours, including a second-alarm brush fire in Claremont, with units returning to service around 2:45 AM, followed shortly by a medical call at 4:30 AM.

After returning from the medical call, crews were dispatched to a working structure fire in Charlestown that eventually escalated beyond a second alarm.

As of 9:00 AM, Engine-4 and Brush-1 are returning to Station 1 to place Engine-4 back in service.

Thank you to all of our members for your continued dedication, commitment, and countless hours spent serving our communities.

Today, the Weathersfield Fire Department responded to multiple calls for service, including two medical calls this morning while Chief Compo and Captain Waters completed their technical rescue course. This afternoon, Engine-7 covered the Proctorsville Fire Department and the Chester Fire Department while they operated at multiple brush fires. While Engine-7 was covering, members covering from Station 2 got dispatched to a 1st alarm brush fire in the town of Windsor. Brush-1 and Engine-1 responded and assisted with suppression and overhaul. During operations, a second fire was discovered close to the first fire, and additional alarms requested more equipment to the scene. Engine-7 had returned from Chester and responded along with Utility-1 to Windsor for the second fire. 11 members responded to assist with the two fires while Proctorsville Fire was on auto aid for the town. Lastly, while returning to quarters, Weathersfield Fire was dispatched to Interstate 91 for a dump truck fire; Engines 1, 4, 7, Tanker-1, and Brush 1 all responded. Great job by all our members for their dedication.

Chief Compo and Captain Waters are currently taking this 4 day class! Great job gentlemen!

First responders from across Vermont practiced high-angle rope rescues on Monday, navigating steep and hard-to-reach areas similar to where real emergencies often unfold.
