Pawlet, VT - The West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched on an automatic mutual aid assignment with the Wells Volunteer Fire Department for a residential fire alarm activation on West Lake Road in the Town of Wells.
Responding crews investigated the alarm and determined it had been triggered by a cooking-related incident inside the residence. No fire extension or other hazards were reported.
After confirming the situation was under control, all units were cleared from the scene and returned to service. The call marked another response in an especially busy period for West Pawlet firefighters, who handled multiple incidents over a span of less than two days.
