Chilson Volunteer Fire Department is organized to provide fire protection, fire prevention and rescue services, including vehicle extraction, to everyone in our protection area. The department, founded in 1961, today has 44 members and 20 qualified active firefighters. The department serves the Chilson community, a 30-square-mile area that also includes Putts Pond and a large portion of Eagle Lake. Chilson is a part of the Town of Ticonderoga, and its fire district includes extensive tracts of state-owned land. The department is staffed and equipped to provide fire prevention, fire protection and rescue services including vehicle extractions. Chilson VFD also responds to weather emergencies, clears downed trees from roadways, and provides assistance to home-bound residents during power outages and other emergencies. The Chilson Community Center at the fire station is owned by the department; its playing fields and picnic grounds host many community events. In addition to serving Chilson, the department provides mutual aid to surrounding departments. The department's address is 60 Putts Pond Road, Ticonderoga, New York 12883.
