🎓 Congratulations, Firefighters Tim O’Neill & Khanye Cogdell!

Tonight, we’re incredibly proud to recognize Tim O’Neill and Khanye Cogdell on their graduation from the Penobscot County Fire Academy!

Tim and Khanye have put in countless hours throughout the summer completing online coursework, studying, and preparing, all while continuing to balance work, life, and their responsibilities with our department. They then spent the last 14 days completing the intensive hands-on practical portion of the academy.

We couldn’t be prouder of the work Tim and Khanye have put in to reach this milestone. Their dedication not only makes them better firefighters, but makes our entire department stronger.

Please join us in congratulating Firefighter Tim O’Neill and Firefighter Khanye Cogdell on this well-earned accomplishment!

Congratulations, gentlemen. You earned it! 🚒🔥

🚨Power restored & roads back open everywhere that we know of around town, with the exception of Birch Pt. Rd.

07/17/2026

Following this afternoon’s thunderstorms, our crews are out making repairs to restore service to about 16,500 customers, mostly in Penobscot and Hancock counties.

Crews will be addressing public safety concerns and reports of downed power lines first. We will work overnight, but customers who do not have power restored by 10 pm should expect to be without power until tomorrow.

To keep our crews and yourself safe, please give our team space to do their essential work.

It’s not always emergencies that keep our apparatus busy!

Yesterday, Tanker 374 was happy to lend a hand by helping fill the school’s water tank so they can continue watering their newly seeded baseball field. Supporting our community comes in many forms, and we’re always glad to help when we can.

Good luck to the grounds crew—we’re looking forward to seeing the field ready for the season!

This weekend, our Basic Fire School students focused on ladder operations and building the skills needed to safely and effectively work with ground ladders and aerial’s on the fireground.

A huge thank you to Brewer Fire Department for bringing Ladder 305 out for the training and to Orrington Fire Department for allowing us to use their excellent training facility. We truly appreciate the continued partnership and support that helps provide our students with valuable hands-on experience.

We’re proud of the hard work and dedication our students continue to show each week!
