With firefighter numbers plummeting nationwide and Vermont’s certification pool shrinking, the union argues the rule is stifling recruitment. While some officials worry about slower emergency response, others like Fire Chief Lovett are open to loosening the limit to 15 miles. The push faces hurdles — including a city vote and state approval — and echoes past failures in towns like St. Johnsbury, which reversed course after losing response speed. With retirements looming, union leader Kyle Robillard insists changing the rule is vital to attract talent in today’s competitive job market.
