Glover needs volunteers.Firefighters and auxiliary.
Every fire call in this town is answered by neighbors who are not paid to answer it. The department is taking new members right now, on both sides of the line: people who will train to go in, and people who keep the crew supplied, organized and supported.
Glover, Orleans County, Vermont. One station on Bean Hill Road, an all volunteer roster, and the ground on the next screen to cover.
The coverage figure
One station. This much ground. This many neighbors.
- 1 Fire station 63 Bean Hill Road, Glover. Registry record for FDID 10243 lists one station.
- 38.61 sq mi Community size The square is drawn to that area: 6.21 miles on a side, and the short yellow bar under it is one of those miles.
- 1,122 Protected population Every mark inside the square is one of them. The field is 34 across by 33 down, which is 1,122 exactly.
- 100% Volunteer Department type on the registry record is Volunteer. There is no paid shift behind the roster.
The ask
Two ways onto the roster.
Join as a firefighter
This is the person who leaves dinner on the table when the tones drop. Volunteer departments train people from zero, so what matters first is living close enough to reach the station and being willing to keep showing up. Ask the crew what Glover's next step looks like for a new member.
Ask on FacebookJoin the auxiliary
Not everyone belongs on a hose line, and a department does not run on hose lines alone. The auxiliary side is rehab and food at a long scene, fundraising, paperwork, phone calls and the hundred jobs that keep a volunteer department standing. The department is taking auxiliary members too.
Call 802.525.3400Either way, just ask
No form here, and no sign up page. Send a message, send an email, or call the station number and say you want to help. Somebody on the crew will tell you straight what the department needs this month.
Email the departmentRecruitment is the ask because the department said so: its own Facebook page is currently calling for volunteers and states it is taking both firefighters and auxiliary members. Everything else on this page is arranged behind that.
If you cannot run calls
Support the crew instead.
Some people cannot carry a pack, and that is fine. A volunteer department still runs on a town that shows up: equipment, fuel, training and the small things that never make a budget line.
Rather than invent a donate button, this concept points you at the people who know. Ask the department on Facebook, by email, or by phone what would actually help this month, and then do that thing.
About this concept
In June 2025 the department posted "Hello Friends & Neighbors!" and asked the town what it would like to see on a website.
That post is still the only one on the department's site, and it still says the site is being built. This page is one answer to the question it asked, designed and built without charge by Frontline Web Designs, with no obligation attached. Nothing here was invented: every figure is from the public registry record, every contact detail is one the department already publishes, and the recruitment message is the department's own.
If the chief wants it, it can be handed over. If not, it costs the department nothing.
Reach the department
Emergency first, everything else second.

The Town of Glover's published contact list names Phil Brooks as fire chief and Bob Richards as fire warden. Those names are shown as the town lists them and should be confirmed with the department before anyone relies on them.
