Buxton Fire-Rescue 2018-2019 Annual Report

Through the hard work of several members, the department has been awarded the status of Gold Level Heart Safe Community. The Maine Heart Safe Community program is a cooperative initiative of the Maine EMS office and the Maine Cardiovascular Health Council. The program recognizes local efforts made to provide strong cardiovascular related emergency care for residents and visitors and promotes partnership between local EMS services and community partners to improve overall cardiovascular health and awareness. Through CPR classes, awareness activities, AED’s in public areas, advanced cardiac life support and improving the chain of survival in their community. These things plus our continued work with fire prevention in schools and daycares in our community, along with the tireless dedication of our members, has made this an exceptional year for our department. Finally, I would like to thank the members, their families and the community for continued support of such a great community organization. Thank you for all that you do. Respectfully,

Assistant Chief Jeremy Redlon
