At 1700 hours today Standish Fire & EMS received a call for a missing paddle boarder in the area of Wards Cove on Sebago Lake. This triggered a multi agency response with the CCSO, Sebago Fire, Windham Fire, Gorham Fire, Raymond Fire and the Maine Warden Service Marine units. After a roughly one hour search between Wards cove and the west shore of Frye Island the individual was safely located.

We would like to remind everyone on the water to have a properly fitting life jacket with them.

Today all of our fire apparatus are undergoing annual pump testing, an NFPA requirement that ensures our pumps meet or exceed their rated capacity. Our pumps range in capacity from 1,250 gallons per minute all the way up to 2,000 gallons per minute. Regular maintenance and testing like this helps make sure they are ready to go when they are needed most.
