Breaking News: The 2nd alarm has been struck for 91 Bell St for a grass fire that has spread into a building.

Virtually everyone in #Maine has been affected in different ways by #coronavirus. Perhaps no one has thanked you if you canceled a birthday party, graduation, or religious gathering. So I thank you. Please know that you have helped save lives.

Effective this morning, Rescue 2 (our spare Rescue) has been re-designated as Decon 1. This unit is now staffed with 2 Hazmat Technicians 24/7 and will be assisting our crews with all decontamination efforts as we continue to respond to Covid related increased calls for service.

As we all continue to practice social distancing, many of our firehouses have been doing their best to help support our local restaurants! We look forward to the day that we can all resume our normal activities without restrictions. Until then, stay healthy and be safe!

We love this guy so much and are blessed to have him as our son. Keep kicking ass Nicky! #AutismAcceptance #autismawarenessday

Wrongfully relieved of command but did right by the sailors. #navy @UncleChaps @katebarstool @ZeroBlog30 @CaptainCons

Had Joel been in the military I have no doubt he would have been awarded the Medal of Honor. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. #firefighter #fire #neverforget
