It’s been a couple of days since the devastating fire on Hancock Street which destroyed many homes and disrupted families. I want to take a moment and echo what so many have said and express my profound pride I have for our community. It says something about the Town of Rumford and it’s thoughtful citizens when tragedy strikes and before the day’s end, so many stepped up to offer assistance to those who needed help after loosing everything. I also want to publicly recognize and thank the Rumford Public Works, the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office and the Mexico Police for their IMMEDIATE response to assist Rumford PD with re-routing traffic and ensuring emergency crews could get in quickly to support Rumford Fire in battling the fire and rescuing the victims. It was nice during the first hours of the emergency when the power grid was dumped to hear that Aubuchon Hardware had stepped up and opened their doors to provide a safe place where anyone could go to warm up! A little after 3am to drive by and see their OPEN sign lit up brought a smile to my face! Red Cross volunteers were in town within hours to immediately begin the process to help displaced victims and Town Officials from the General Assistance Office stepped in first thing in the morning to help ensure all bases were covered and everyone was accounted for.

In my previous career as a drug enforcement agent, I’ve had the experience of seeing how other towns work..and how they work with others. I can say without hesitation that Rumford’s citizens are fortunate and have the right to be proud of what we have here...from the local emergency response crews,to the citizens, to the local businesses. It’s second nature for all to stop what we’re doing and mobilized to handle the crisis at hand together. Bravo Town of Rumford, its dedicated and professional employees of the Fire and Police Departments and other town departments, the citizens, the local businesses, and all the outside support we received.
