Members of the Proctorsville Volunteer Fire Department responded to a school bus crash near the bottom of the Proctorsville Gulf on Route 103 at around 3:11 p.m. on June 6.


Deputy Chief Glidden was informed of the collision, according to officials, and asked Hartford Dispatch to page Ludlow Ambulance and the department. After receiving information that the incident had occurred close to Cavendish Road in Chester, dispatch reported that the Chester Fire Department and Chester Ambulance had already been sent.


Thirteen people from Engine 1, Engine 2, and Tanker 1 responded. Firefighters took control as soon as they arrived, and EMS personnel assessed the bus passengers. In order to ensure the safety of responders, Route 103 was temporarily closed. Incoming units were canceled after command swiftly concluded that no more resources were required.


No serious injuries were reported. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles responded to investigate the crash. The roadway reopened to one lane around 4 p.m., while firefighters remained on scene directing traffic until the bus was removed. All units cleared the scene at approximately 8:30 p.m.
