"On August 15, 2026, Shelburne Emergency Communications Technicians Patricia Vincent and Angela Allen demonstrated exceptional professionalism, composure, and teamwork while handling a 911 call involving a water rescue.
Patricia and Angela quickly gathered critical information, coordinated the response, and dispatched several emergency service agencies to the scene. Throughout the incident, they remained calm and focused while helping ensure responders received the information and resources they needed.
Their outstanding work did not go unnoticed. Charlotte Fire & Rescue recognized Patricia and Angela with a Letter of Commendation for their efforts and their important role in the successful response.
As noted in the Letter of Commendation:
“The rapid response, effective interdepartmental communication, and coordinated actions of all responding personnel resulted in the safe recovery of both kayakers.”
Emergency Communications Technicians are often the first point of contact during an emergency and remain behind the scenes as an incident unfolds. Their ability to stay calm, communicate clearly, and coordinate multiple resources plays an essential role in supporting both the public and the emergency responders working in the field.
We are extremely proud of Patricia and Angela and grateful to Charlotte Fire & Rescue for taking the time to recognize their outstanding work.
Congratulations, Patricia and Angela, and thank you for representing the Shelburne Communications Center with professionalism, dedication, and excellence!
Best,

Josh Flore
Chief of Police
Shelburne Police Department

It is with deepest regret and great sorrow the Addison Volunteer Fire Department announces the passing of 10-year member and current Second Assistant Chief, Phillip Stearns at the age of 49. He joined the department in 2016 and was elected as Captain in 2019. After 3 years as captain he was elected as Second Assistant Chief in 2022.
He also served as a member of the Vergennes Fire Department for 15 years starting as a cadet in 1993.

Phil was a dedicated member of the department, responding to almost every call we had. For the last several years he has had the most training hours in the department. He took pride in the department and was always willing to take on anything that was asked of him.
Phil’s dedication to make the department stronger was unmatched. His openness and willingness to teach others made him the person new members knew they could go to with any questions.

Chief Stearns will be greatly missed by the fire service and the community he served. The void he leaves will be impossible to fill.

Information on Funeral arrangements will be shared at a later date.
