The fire and explosion at a Maine lumber mill that killed one firefighter and injured several other people earlier this month involved combustible dust, according to new information released today by the Office of the Maine State Fire Marshal.

Combustible dust is a significant yet often misunderstood industrial hazard that can result in flash fires and even explosions under certain conditions.

“I fish to give someone else a better experience with ALS - whether it’s the patient themselves or the loved ones supporting them. It gives you a great perspective on how we can come together as a community to fight this disease on all levels from patients to providers and every else associated.” — Ryan Sanvik, Fisherman

In 1995, the family and friends of Kevin Kolquist, an avid outdoorsman who was diagnosed with ALS, decided to turn their love of fishing into something greater. That’s how the Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament began.

What started as a small tournament has grown into a powerful tradition of hope, raising critical funds to support people living with ALS and their families. Three decades later, anglers are still gathering their lures and casting at the clear waters of Island Lake in Duluth, MN while raising funds that fight ALS. We are grateful for Never Surrender's Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament's support!

Whether you're a lifelong angler or just love being out on the water, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Submissions are in for the 2027 The International Alliance of ALS / MND Associations Calendar, and the artwork is truly breathtaking. Each piece reflects the hope and resilience that define the ALS community. Voting is open now through June 8! Make sure to vote on the incredible entries and make your voice heard!

Check out Scout’s artwork “Celebrating Collective Joy” which captures how caregiving and determination can turn challenges into moments of joy, proving that life’s experiences are still within reach, even if they look different.

"Inspiration: In my experience, caregiving has been small acts of compassion, tremendous acts of undaunted commitment, and everything in between. Many of us have lost the ability to accomplish daily tasks for ourselves. Caregivers help us live daily lives. But they also help us keep dreaming and striving. They help make our dreams come true, whether that means getting out of bed that day, getting out of the house into nature, or going on a huge adventure." - Scout O'Gara, Artist

For unknown reasons, veterans are more likely to develop than people who did not serve in the military. We're dedicated to providing resources for military veterans living with the disease and funding research that will help us understand the link between military service and ALS.
