Newbury Village Fire Chief John Renfrew, 72, watches as a crew from Fornwalt Excavation prepares a site for new footings to be poured for a new fire station in Newbury Village, Vt., on Friday, May 23, 2025. The former station at the location was demolished last Monday, and the $1.2 million project to build a new station with a larger meeting room, a chief’s office, and bays to accommodate modern fire apparatus is expected to be complete in October. Renfrew said his grandfather built the original one-bay fire station in the 1930s. The new station, “should serve the next generation at least,” said Renfrew. (Valley News – James M.
