For years, the Colchester Center Volunteer Fire Company has lived and worked by the motto of “Our Family Helping Yours,” however we now find ourselves in a position where we must ask your family to help ours, as we host a pancake breakfast to aid one of our distinguished Life Members.

One of our long time members, John Meyers, has been fighting a long battle with cancer. John has been associated with Colchester Center Fire for about 20 years, serving a few years in various leadership positions such as Captain and President of the Company. Recently, John was diagnosed with Acute Promyelcytic Leukemia, and its treatment requires chemotherapy with at least six weeks spent in a special vacuum-sealed room at the hospital. This news came mere weeks after his wife (also a former Colchester firefighter) had to have surgery for thyroid cancer. The emotional and financial burden on the Meyers family cannot be ignored.

Welcome to the Colchester Center Volunteer Fire Company (CCVFC) and our new web site.  We are an all-volunteer non-profit corporation made up of Colchester residents.  We provide fire protection to the town of Colchester (population about 18,000), located in Northwestern Vermont on the shores of Lake Champlain.  The men and women of the CCVFC respond to over 600 emergency calls each year and work closely with other local agencies to protect life, property, and the environment.  We are responsible for approximately 29 square miles of Colchester, and our coverage area includes several hotels, a military base, a hospital, a college campus, part of Interstate 89 and businesses as well as residential housing.
