🚒🏡Fresh look for RCFC!

Over the last several weekends, our members have volunteered their time and expertise to spruce up the exterior of the station. While we were out working, we had several neighbors stop by to ask about the updates - it was great to connect and share what we've been up to!

We still have a few finishing touches to complete, but we're proud to keep the station looking sharp for the community we serve. Thank you for everyone's support along the way.

The biggest thank you to our dedicated members for their hard work and commitment to both RCFC and our community. 🚒🚨

‼️PSA: Citizens who own water wells‼️

As we venture further into this drought just as the cold months approach, keep in mind water wells may start to become impacted as underground water tables lose capacity. Please have a backup plan in place just in case you are to experience a dry well.

Please keep water consumption in mind moving forward. If your well is to run dry please report it to the State of Maine at their online portal https://maine-dry-well-survey-maine.hub.arcgis.com/
