FIRE\RESCUE DEPARTMENT

Hello from the Fire & Rescue hope all is well with all your families, this has been one trying year for everyone hope you all made it through in one piece and healthy. One constant the Fire and Rescue has been there for you folks when needed we might look a little funny with masks on but were trying to be safe and protect you and our members from this crazy virus that doesn’t discriminate, now that vaccines are coming out hopefully, we’ll be able to get back to some normal life in the future.

This year’s budget as usual reflects the needs of the department without adding a heavy burden on the taxpayers, we have been watching what going on in Washington and Maine governments with the federal wage and it is reflected in this budget to be able to for when it comes, the dept. appreciates the new side by side to be able to rescue and fight forest fires in town. Membership has stayed up even with the pandemic going on which shows the dedication of all the gals and guys with the support of the town behind them day time coverage can at times be sketchy but with help of mutual aid from surrounding towns we get it done, I want to also thank all the town depts. that are there to help us when we need them and we’ll be there to when called. I just want to thank you all for your support we have a very strong and spirited community here and I’m very proud to serve you all, thanks!
