“Wintergreen Fire & Rescue” is a department within the WPOA staff. Wintergreen Fire & Rescue staff are assigned to over 2,500 incidents per year.
Combined, the Wintergreen Rescue Squad and Wintergreen Fire Department operate 21 pieces of equipment to meet the needs of Wintergreen. This equipment can be as complex as a 95’ Aerial Platform truck or as simple as an SUV used for rapid response. Because of our extreme terrain, almost all of our equipment has to be specialized and is therefore rather expensive. The capital needs of both departments are funded by private donations. Operating expenses are paid by the Counties of Nelson and Augusta, and by Wintergreen Partners Incorporated. All staff expenses are paid by WPOA.
"To provide the best possible pre-hospital care and fire suppression for the citizens of Wintergreen and our neighbors in the surrounding Nelson and August."
