The Town of Lyndon is a small, six–square mile community located in Vermont’s scenic Northeast Kingdom. Home to approximately 5,751 residents, Lyndon experiences long, cold winters with temperatures typically in the teens and 20s °F. Summers are short and humid, with temperatures ranging from the 60s to 80s °F and occasional days in the 90s. Fall is perhaps the most picturesque season, as vibrant foliage transforms the landscape into a daily postcard. Spring—also known locally as “mud season”—brings the Northeast Kingdom back to life, marking the start of fairs and festivals across the state.
Lyndon is home to Vermont State University’s Lyndon Campus, which hosts a variety of events year-round in its large venues. The town is also home to Lyndon Institute, a public-private high school serving approximately 800 students from Lyndon and surrounding towns.
About the Fire Department
About the Fire Department
The Lyndonville Fire Department is headquartered in downtown Lyndon, an area with about 1,200 residents. Our building also houses the Lyndonville Police Department, which employs four full-time officers who patrol the entire town, as well as the Lyndon Area Training Center, a regional facility used by local agencies for training purposes.
We are a volunteer fire department, meaning our firefighters are not staffed at the station full-time. When a call comes in, members respond from their homes or workplaces to the station, gear up, and respond to the scene. Each firefighter carries a pager that alerts them to emergencies and provides dispatch information. Our dedicated volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In 2024, the Lyndonville Fire Department responded to 242 calls for service, a five-year high.
Training and Certification
Training and Certification
Training is a critical part of our mission. The Lyndonville Fire Department holds training sessions every Thursday night. These drills focus on sharpening firefighting skills, learning new techniques, and maintaining all equipment to ensure it is in top working condition.
All Lyndonville firefighters are required to be certified as Vermont Level I Firefighters. This certification involves completing an 184-hour training course at the Vermont Fire Academy in Pittsford, which includes live burn evolutions to prepare firefighters for real-world emergencies. Ongoing weekly training helps members maintain their skills and certifications so they can continue to serve the community safely and effectively.
