Hometown Heroes Firefighters 2018 | Page 3

RUTLAND COUNTY’S HOMETOWN HEROES
Welcome to our first Hometown Heroes special section,
featuring Fire Departments from around the region. This section
will be followed later in the year by sections featuring rescue
squads, police and other first responders.
Most fire departments in our area are made up of volunteers
– men and women who take time out of their lives to meet, train
and most of all respond when the call goes out over the radio.
Many times, their response is to a minor incident. Yet there are
also many times they respond to fires or accidents that threaten
the home, property or lives of people who may be neighbors or
may be perfect strangers.
Whether professional, part-time, or strictly volunteer, these
men and women represent the best in our communities, serving
a purpose and a role that reaches all of us, no matter who we are.
We have to acknowledge that this first edition is incomplete –
there are many departments listed here that are not fully featured,
due to time and space constraints. We will work to add them in
future editions of this series. Part of our goal in this publication is
to publicize the critical fundraising efforts and volunteer recruiting
efforts of these small local departments. You will find many of
these events listed – but if you don’t, please reach out to your local
department and find a way to help out – they would do it for you.
