The Town of Huntington’s Volunteer Fire Department averages 18 active members. The members are all volunteers from within the town, who are very dedicated to serving the community in which they live as Firefighters and First Responder/EMTs.
The HFD responds to approximately 100 calls per year. The HFD has a First Response license with the State of Vermont which allows its medically-certified members to respond to medical emergencies and car accidents to treat patients while waiting for the responding ambulance. The Town of Huntington does not have its own ambulance, which makes the Department’s first responders a very valuable asset to the community.
Meetings: The Fire Department meets for trainings the first 3 Monday’s of the month at 7:00 p.m. EMS personnel meet on the 4th Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. and additional evenings as needed. The Backcountry Search and Rescue team meets once or twice per month on various evenings or Saturdays.
Any outside burning larger than 30″ diameter requires a Burning Permit from the Fire Warden: Stephen Boucher, 978-852-8694 (cell); 802-350-8304 (pager).
