Our thoughts and prayers are with Firefighter Andrew Cross of the Morrill Fire Department who tragically lost his life operating at the Robbins Lumber Company fire in Searsmont yesterday. We also continue to send well wishes to the other firefighters and civilians alike who were injured or otherwise impacted by the incident.

In the coming days and weeks, you will see departments from all over the state and beyond band together in support of our colleagues.

Our brotherhood knows no borders, boundaries, or limitations. Through tragic events such as this, an unbreakable bond between men and women from diverse backgrounds and jurisdictions becomes evident to the world. We band together for our brothers. We mourn together. And we support each other with the unwavering commitment to protect and serve our communities with uninterrupted service.

MEDIA RELEASE:

Location: 497 Lee Road
Incident Type: Building Fire
Date: 2 May 2026
Incident Command: Captain Jake Hammond

At 0241hrs a general alarm was struck for Lincoln and Central Maine Highlands Fire & EMS District #1 to respond to 497 Lee Road in Lincoln for a reported fire in the building. Reports from dispatch indicated that there was a male occupant re-entering the structure at the time of call. Initial response included two engines and one ambulance from Lincoln and one engine, one tanker, and one ambulance from CMHFD. Off duty crews arrived shortly after the initial response and were able to turn out one ladder, one engine, and one ambulance.

Engine 531 was the first to arrive at 0247hrs; reporting heavy fire showing from a single story residential home. After consulting with the occupants and completing a walk around of the building it was determined that everyone was reported to be out of the building and crews opted for an interior fire attack. There was also one victim at a neighboring property that was inside the home at the time of the fire that had sustained burn injuries prior to our arrival. The paramedic on duty assessed the patient while fire attack was initiated. The patient was transported to Penobscot Valley Hospital with non life threatening injuries. A second medical call in town was also dispatched shortly after crews arrived at the fire and was handled by Lee Fire Rescue.

Interior crews entered the home and knocked down the bulk of the fire in the living space while completing a search of the home; confirming there were no further victims. a second line was pulled to manage fire extension into an attached garage. With 2 lines in operation outside of the hydrant district, command requested a 2nd alarm assignment; bringing Lee Fire Rescue, Mattawamkeag Fire Department, East Millinocket Volunteer Fire Department, Greenbush Fire Department, and Milford Fire/Rescue to the scene with tankers and manpower.

Knockdown of the fire was called for at 0314hrs with overhaul in progress.

At 0332hrs, all 2nd alarm companies not already on scene were stood down and returned to service.

Total loss stopped was logged at 0413hrs.

Crews were back in service at 0540hrs.

Water was shuttled from a pressurized hydrant at Lee Road & Warsaw Circle and supervised by Lincoln Water District. Approximately 6,000 gallons of water were used to bring the fire under control.

With the fire related injury and high dollar loss fire, the Maine State Fire Marshal's Office was called per protocol. The cause of the fire was determined to be a cooking error.

Thank you to Penobscot Regional Communications Center, Lincoln Water District, Lincoln Police Department , and Versant Power for their assistance on scene.

This is the 14th building fire dispatch of 2026.

Great day of tRAINing today with the whole crew on hand!

Staff had a brief lecture/trauma review with our medical director Dr. Dave Saquet from Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in the morning before reviewing the ins and outs of extrication techniques during a motor vehicle accident.

The laughs were flowing, good questions and feedback was exchanged, and a day well spent making sure our skills are sharp for the communities we have the privilege of serving.

Not a single complaint about the dreary weather!

Thanks to Robinsons Towing for the use of their lot and for the donation of the vehicles. This training wouldn’t be possible without you guys!

Also shoutout to PRCC Dispatcher Lindsay McPhail for hanging out with us and catching these great pictures!

Please join us in congratulating one of our own in his recent accomplishments:

Captain Kenneth Goslin has spent the last 2 years becoming a paramedic. In doing so, Capt. Goslin has not only received a 4.0 GPA at the top of his class, but he has received awards for academic excellence for the entire school, and an academic achievement in the EMS program.

"Good evening everyone,

It’s my honor to present the Academic Excellence Award for the Emergency Medical Services Program. This award represents more than just strong grades… it reflects a student who consistently demonstrates professionalism, clinical competence, leadership, and a true commitment to patient care. This year’s recipient, Kenneth Goslin, embodies all of those qualities.

Ken joined us on the Presque Isle campus after completing the Advanced EMT Program with the NMCC Patten Cohort, and from the very beginning, he stood out. Not just for his academic performance… Which by the way... is exceptional… but for the kind of person he is. He is pleasant, friendly, professional, and brings a level of positivity and passion that makes him not only an outstanding student... but someone you genuinely enjoy being around.

This presentation wouldn’t be complete without highlighting a few of the many attributes that put Ken in the forefront of the decision to select him for such an honor. During his time at NMCC, Ken always maintained a quiet professionalism that never wavered. For example, It was very common to see others getting caught up in the stress or the small frustrations of a long semester, Ken never
complained, never engaged in the noise… he just showed up and did the work and did it well… AND to add, he did it while driving nearly two hours each way to be here… all the way from Lincoln -mile marker 227 on the interstate. Another specific attribute that set Ken apart, was his nature of doing extra, never the bare minimum. A good example of this is… during his clinical
rotations… at the end of a day’s worth of patient encounters, and along with his patient care documentation, he would leave notes reflecting on his performance… how the call went, what he learned, and how he connected with the patient… and what he feels could have gone better. This was not a requirement, nor a task many other students completed. But, Ken just did it. That level of self-awareness, connection to the patient care, and commitment
to growth is something you don’t always see, and it speaks volumes about the kind of provider he is.

Beyond the classroom, Ken serves as a Captain with the Lincoln Fire
Department, and that leadership clearly carries over into everything he does. He leads by example, supports his peers, and maintains a standard that reflects the very best of this profession.

Now… from a more personal perspective… It is also important to add… while highlighting Ken’s accolades… Ken brings a shared appreciation for vintage electronics and Star Trek… So, in a conversation about cardiac rhythms, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to deviate to the operating system of a Commodore 64 and ultimately ending up in a discussion about starships and
Prime Directives. Now, this is brought up as it sheds light into a very important aspect of the student/teacher relationship in EMS education and the finer details of who the student is. Instructors in the EMS program have the privilege of working closely with students over a long period of time… through classroom, labs,
and countless hours in clinical and field settings. Because of that it becomes so much more personal, as we get to see not just academic success, but the real person and their growth into the role of a provider… So when a student like Ken reaches this point, there’s a strong sense of pride… but also a bit of sadness in seeing not just a student, but a friend move on… We are going to miss Ken…and once again, on a more personal note, I am going to miss him.

With that, I don’t want to be selfish… we have to let you go… It makes me happy that I can say with complete confidence as we let you go, that the communities you serve will be much better because of you. Thank you for being the kind of student that reminds us why we teach. Thank you for everything I have learned from you.

It is my privilege to present the Academic Excellence Award for the
Emergency Medical Services Program to Kenneth Goslin."

- Matt Beil - Lead Instructor of Emergency Medical Services Program

To echo Matt's statements about Capt. Goslin, we are proud beyond words with Ken's performance. He continues to raise the bar and set a high standard for our crew and he is an outstanding representation of our department.

Congratulations Ken! Our department and the community is lucky to have you and we look forward to many more years of your leadership and skillset supporting our mission!

Ken and Firefighter Eilon Zboray officially graduate on May 9th and will be eligible to test out to practice as Nationally Registered Paramedics! This class was a huge undertaking for the two of them and their new skillset will immediately bolster the level of care we can provide our patients.
