The West Burke Volunteer Fire Department has 11 active volunteer members, on call 24 hours, 7 days a week, serving the greater West Burke, Burke Hollow areas, and the surrounding rural areas. Our department is also available at any time for mutual aid requests from area towns.

We continue to work closely in mutual aid association with the East Burke Fire Brigade. This has resulted in better responsive practices to have both departments responding to major fires in our towns.

For the calendar year 2023, West Burke Volunteer Fire Department responded 42 times to a variety of situations. We also participated in fire drills, fire prevention seminars, and education courses.
