This past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel up to Stratton, Vermont for some skiing and Buffing. I wasn’t able to photograph everything I wanted but here they are…

I know they're not great, but I'm happy with what I got. If you have any questions, just ask. All my photos from my trip can been seen on my Flickr Page. Hope you enjoyed them.

There's a fire department just for the mountain?

There's a fire department just for the mountain?

It covers the Town of Stratton, VT. Stratton is 50 Square miles and home to 200 residents and up to 5,000 visitors during peak travel. The department gets about 60 Calls per year. More info can be found on firenews.org

Stratton is a town, the mountain is in the town.

I'm assuming that all officers in the Winhall PD are at least EMT Basic certified? I don't think I've ever seen the EMS star of life so prominent on a police vehicle.

Correct, All are EMT's. Their actual name is the Town of Winhall Police and Rescue Department. They offer BLS First response to all medical calls.

the 60 calls per year explain why their appratus are in mint condition.

Besides that, it is obvious that the departments are well funded, as nothing is really out of date (at least from what I see in the photos), actually ive seen some departments in central NY that receive several hundred calls per year that don't have anywhere near the equipment pictured above...

Great photos, thanks for sharing! That is a first for me, I have never seen a Honda Pilot used in law enforcement. The new tower looks nice, I liked their old Pierce!
