The members of the Lincoln Fire Department would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and brothers and sisters of the firefighter lost in the tragic lumber yard fire in Searsmont, Maine. We also keep the injured firefighters and their families in our thoughts as they recover.
No matter the distance between departments, the fire service is one family. Whether you are career, volunteer, or call firefighters, we all answer the same call, face the same dangers, and make the same sacrifices for our communities. When one firefighter falls, we all feel that loss together.
The brotherhood and sisterhood of the fire service stretches far beyond town and state lines, binding us together through sacrifice, dedication, and service to others.
We stand with the firefighters and community of Searsmont during this incredibly difficult time. Please keep all those affected in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest easy, brother. We’ll take it from here.
