Thank you to Low’s Variety for donating pizza and to Hollis Tommy’s Ice Cream for donating desert and the Bonny Eagle Transportation Department for safely bringing the kids for a visit and of course to the great staff at Hollis Elementary for allowing us another opportunity to have some fun interactions with the kids!

During this incident, fire department members worked collaboratively with Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
The fuel on the pavement was cleaned up with a combination of an absorbent and sand. There were 2 small areas found to have fuel on the dirt shoulder, both areas were excavated immediately removing contaminated soil. A responder from Maine DEP then tested the soil confirming the fuel had been recovered.
We would like to thank:
Maine Department of Environmental Protection
hill excavation
Chandler's Automotive and Towing

UPDATE The road is now clear

Use caution on Cape Rd between Lower Tarbox Rd and Ropewalk Dr, as crews deal with a large fuel spill.

Large animals in emergency situations present challenges and this team is available for call out to support all first responder departments in York County and the surrounding communities. The team works in close coordination with licensed veterinarians, animal control agencies and mutual aid partners across the region.

NO BURN PERMITS TODAY!

Elevated Fire Weather Danger Predicted Today...

A very dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with dead
and dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the
potential for uncontrolled fire spread

Today, crews assisted the Riverside Cemetery with the burning of a brush pile from last fall’s cleanup. This allowed opportunity for staff to practice with Utility 6 and training opportunity for one of our Junior members. Enjoyable afternoon out of the office!
