The members past and present from PFRD are sad to share that long time member William "Bill" Breault passed away over the holiday weekend. Bill was always a familiar face at the pump panel and held many titles during his tenure including Deputy Chief and driver training officer. Bill started his long career in the Town of Poland, Maine in August of 1988, finally hanging up his coat for the last time in August of 2020. One memory of Bill that is still shared around the firehouse is that he always thought that if we were up running calls than everyone should be, and that's why Bill was never shy when running his sirens at all hours of the night. "If we are up, they are up"

We appreciate all the countless hours Bill devoted to the citizens of Poland. We will certainly miss Bill, his humor and his stories.
Rest Easy Bill.

Celebrate the life of William Breault, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Advantage Funeral and Cremation Services of Portland.
