Vermilion Fire Department proudly protects 12,000 people living in an area of 800 square miles. We protect a combination of town residential, commercial, industrial and rural area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status. About 80% of the firefighters have been trained to the NFPA 1001 Fire Fighter Professional Qualification. The other 20% are newer volunteers and currently in training. This involves 12 weeks of training on their own time on evenings and weekends.  We are rolling within three minutes of being paged.   With the new truck we can be wearing the air pacs within a block.

We are a very active volunteer dept. of 25 members. We serve the town of Vermilion as well as the County of Vermilion River, a total population of 4500 in town and 7500 in county. We provide fire fighting, vehicle rescue, hazardous materials and search and rescue. Being located on the Yellowhead Highway keeps us busy with vehicle extrication. We are very involved in community fundraisers and local events. We participate in the Firefit Combat Challenge competition.
