For people who want to serve their community in the fire service, there’s such a variety of jobs and responsibilities that everyone has a place.

We welcome anyone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and servant’s heart. Working part-time at the fire service means learning new skills, teamwork, fire science, fire pumps and equipment, hand tools, public safety, and education—and lots of camaraderie! Stowe part-time firefighters are per-diem, which means they’re paid when they respond to calls and for their biweekly trainings.

Stowe Fire Department does not test or recharge fire extinguishers, but there are a number of Vermont businesses that do, such as:

• Vermont Fire Extinguisher (Barre)
• Vermont Life Safety (Bolton)
• FireProTec (Colchester, Rutland)
• D&M Fire and Safety Equipment (Richmond)
• The Extinguisher Pro (Barre)
• St. J Fire Extinguisher (St. Johnsbury)

According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), smoke detectors should be tested at least once a month and batteries should be replaced at least twice a year. A good way to help remember to do this is to change your batteries when you change your clocks for daylight saving time — when you spring forward or fall back.

Stowe Rescue Squad was the original provider of emergency medical services in Stowe. In 2008, the Town created the Stowe Department of EMS and took over responsibility for emergency medical services to residents and visitors. In 2024, Stowe EMS was merged with Stowe Fire Department into the Stowe Fire & Rescue department.

Stowe Rescue Squad occasionally supports Stowe Fire & Rescue with gifts of equipment. They also provide training for EMS volunteers, as well as community outreach and education.
