Students at Saint Michael’s College have many opportunities to come face to face with "real-world" problems and challenges. The firefighters and ambulance personnel of the Fire and Rescue Squad regularly face those that are literally a matter of life and death.

At Saint Michael’s College, the Fire and Rescue Squad is an independent volunteer organization of young men and women students. In addition to their academic and extracurricular responsibilities, they have taken on the awesome burden of serving the public by providing fire protection and emergency medical treatment, not only on campus but also throughout a broad area of Vermont’s most populous county. With the dedication and support of the Saint Michael’s student, alumni, and staff volunteers, their service has continued 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, since 1969.

This department is dedicated to providing the highest quality professional fire and emergency medical services and education for the campus and communities which we serve. Through its active promotion of volunteerism, Saint Michael's Fire and Rescue encourages the positive personal and professional growth of all its members while meeting essential community needs. Saint Michael's Fire and Rescue is proudly staffed and managed by members of the Saint Michael's College community.
