New England’s Fire Service Heritage: Vermont State Firefighters' Association

Throughout New England, there are a number of firefighters’ organizations. One of the oldest is the Vermont State Firefighters' Association, which was organized by small group of Vermont firefighters in the mid-1800s.

At that time, firefighters from different fire companies would gather to discuss fires, fire prevention, and related topics. Eventually, the group decided it would be good to have a statewide organization of firefighters to address these issues.

The Vermont State Firemen's Association was officially formed on 7 November 1890 by a legislative Act passed by the Vermont General Assembly.
