We at the Eustis Fire Department are deeply saddened by the loss of a Maine Game Warden. The Maine Warden Service has served beside us in the countless emergency responses and we grieve with them and their families during this difficult time.

The Eustis Fire Department is very thankful for all the people and resources that came together to make the rescue a success.

Perfect timing.
8 days after a multiagency training in a simulated snowmobile crash in Carrabasset Valley we had a actual accident in Eustis.
Friday afternoon January 16 Eustis Fire Department, Maine Game Wardens and EMS 61 was dispatched to trail ITS -89 in Eustis for a snowmobile accident with injuries.
5 members responded.
1 went directly from home on a snowmobile with a radio and medical gear to locate and update all other responding units. From the time of the call to arrival to the patient was about 17 minutes.
4 other members responded to the station to pick up specialized gear to be able to safely remove the injured person to a staging ambulance.
The injured person was treated and packaged at the site of the accident by EFD members then transported by Rescue toboggan to EMS 61 staging area.
Patient was then administered advanced life support and was transported to a hospital.
