Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Department (BVFD) is activly looking for people to fill our ranks. The BVFD is a 100% volunteer fire department protecting around 970 full time residents within 50 square miles. The BVFD when requested will respond to help our neighboring towns for larger incidents such as a building fire. The department was organized in 1951 after community members felt the need for fire protection. At that point the BVFD had one engine that the department members built themselves, and housed it at the Bridgewater Woolen Mill. A few years later members were able to raise the funds to purchase a new engine and build a fire house. The BVFD has come a long way since those days. Currently the BVFD has a brand new fire station that was completed in May of 2022, two engines, one tanker, one light rescue/forestry truck, and one polaris UTV. The BVFD on average responds to 50-70 calls a year. These calls consist of structure fires, chimney fires, motor vehicle accidents, brush/forest fires, lost or injured hikers, set up landing zones, weather emergencies, fire alarm activations, haz-mat incidents, mutual aid calls to neighboring towns, and any other emergency that is brought to the BVFD. BVFD members meet every Monday night at 6:30PM for training, equipment maintenance, meetings, and to set up for various fundraisers such as our chicken BBQ. The BVFD relies heavily on donations for funding in order to purchase necessary equipment. | Requirements: The BVFD is looking for committed and motivated individuals. No prior firefighter training is required. We will train people in house to conduct basic fire fighting skills, such as stretching a hose line, hooking up to a hydrant, raising a ladder, pump operations, traffic control, use of the "Jaws of Life", wildland firefighting, and more. If you wish to become an interior certified firefighter then candidates would have to complete a pro board certified class hosted by the Vermont Fire Academy. We are also seeking individuals between the ages of 16 and 17 to become jr. firefighters. These members are taught basic firefighting skills that do not place the individuales in immediate danger. Junior members will be mentored by our experienced firefighters. Junior firefighters may respond to certain calls under direct supervision of a BVFD Fire Officer. The BVFD also offers an auxiliary role. These members help with fundraisers, meal support at large incidents, and other roles that support the department. | Categories: Junior Members, Fundraising, Firefighter, Department Support, Community Education
