Fire Unit

The Fire Unit, founded a few months after Rescue to protect the campus and nearby student housing in Fort Ethan Allen, operates as a battalion of the Colchester Center Volunteer Fire Company, Vermont’s busiest volunteer fire department. The Fire Unit responds to approximately 650 calls a year, including structure fires, brush fires, car fires, motor vehicle accidents, medical assists, utility emergencies, fire alarms, and carbon monoxide alarms. The unit trains six times a month and provides primary fire protection to the town of Colchester, City of Winooski and the college community. Service began in 1970 with a 1957 Ward LaFrance fire engine.

As the first college-affiliated fire department in New England, Saint Michael’s Fire & Rescue has been a model for colleges nationwide. Currently, the students maintain a fleet of two fire engines. Engine 9, a 2017 E-One Typhoon pumper. It is first due for all fires, alarms, and hazardous material incidents. Engine 8 is a 2009 custom Sutphen pumper designed by the students to fit the current and future needs of the town , is the unit's secondary engine and responds to medical assists and motor vehicle accidents.
