House concurrent resolution congratulating the Vergennes Fire Department on its 150th anniversary

This legislative resolution congratulates the Vergennes Fire Department on reaching its 150th anniversary. It acknowledges the department's history, which began in 1876 when the city established a formal fire service to replace earlier private volunteer groups. The document also notes the continued support from the Stevens Hose Company, a nonprofit that helps fund equipment for the department. Finally, it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the fire chief.

MINOR
This is a formatting-only change between two versions of the same House Concurrent Resolution congratulating the Vergennes Fire Department on its 150th anniversary. The official version replaces the draft layout (with page numbers, bill number R-336, and a footer code) with standard legislative formatting including the State of Vermont header, Montpelier location line, and proper resolution title block. No substantive policy content was altered.
TECHNICAL

Header changed from draft format (page number, bill number R-336, year 2026) to official legislative format with State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier Vermont, and Concurrent House Resolution H.C.R. 278 title block.

Removed the internal tracking footer VT LEG #389287 v.1 and page numbering.
