🎟️🔥 WE HAVE A GOLDEN TICKET WINNER! 🔥🎟️

One lucky friend from Hanson Elementary School found our Golden Ticket this morning! 🏆🚒 We’re so excited for our winner to join Lebanon Fire-EMS for a very special ride to school in the fire truck of their choice!

But while the Golden Ticket added a little extra fun to today’s Fire Prevention presentation, we also learned something important that we want to share with our families.

During our presentation, roughly 50% of the students told us they either didn’t know where their family’s outside meeting spot was or had never talked about one with their parents.

🔥 Parents, please take a few minutes tonight to go through the Fire Prevention materials your child brought home. More importantly, talk as a family about what everyone should do if there is ever a fire in your home.

Every family should have a designated meeting spot outside where everyone knows to go after getting out. Choose something easy for children to recognize—like a tree, neighbor’s driveway, or another permanent landmark.

When choosing your meeting spot, make sure it is:

* A safe distance away from your home
* Away from the roadway
* Somewhere your children do NOT have to cross the road to reach
* Easy for every member of the family to remember

Once you’re out, stay out and meet at that spot so firefighters can quickly determine whether everyone is accounted for.

Fire prevention isn’t just something we talk about during Fire Prevention Week. The conversations you have at home—and practicing your family’s escape plan—can make a huge difference when seconds count. ❤️🚒

Congratulations to our Golden Ticket winner, and thank you to our friends at Hanson Elementary for a great morning! 🎟️🔥

Lebanon Fire-EMS
Learn it. Practice it. Have a plan.

UPDATE! The owner was found and he is on his way home!

Anyone missing this sweet baby? He was found on 202 and brought to the station. We will be reaching out to the ACO as well.

🍫🔥 THE GOLDEN TICKET IS OUT THERE! 🔥🍫

Firefighter Charlie has been busy at the fire station hiding ONE very special Golden Ticket inside our Fire Prevention bags! 👀✨

Next Monday, students at Hanson School and Lebanon Elementary School will receive their Fire Prevention bags during our presentations. Somewhere in those bags is the GOLDEN TICKET! 🎟️🚒

🏆 The lucky student who finds it will win a RIDE TO SCHOOL with Lebanon Fire-EMS — and they’ll even get to choose which fire truck they ride in! 🚒🚑

Parents: When your child gets home, make sure you check their Fire Prevention bag together—you never know who might have the Golden Ticket! While you’re looking, take a few minutes to go through the fire-safety materials inside with your child. Talk about what they learned, practice your home escape plan, and make sure everyone knows what to do in an emergency. ❤️🔥

We can’t wait to find out who our lucky winner is!

Will YOU find the Golden Ticket? 👀🎟️✨

Thank You, Sanford Fire

Today, Lebanon Fire-EMS responded to an unusual call involving a skydiver who became hung up in a tree.

We would like to thank the Sanford Fire Department for coming out and assisting our crews with safely handling the incident.

Calls like this are a good reminder of just how important mutual aid and strong working relationships are between neighboring departments. We may have different names on our trucks and serve different communities, but when help is needed, we work together.

We appreciate Sanford Fire for their assistance today and for continuing to be a great mutual aid partner to Lebanon Fire-EMS.

Thank you to everyone involved!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY CAN MAKE!

Today, Lebanon Fire-EMS tackled a major cleanup at Station 2—and the transformation is incredible.

It’s been 8–10 years since Station 2 was actively used after the department’s operations moved to Station 1. Since then, much of the building has remained untouched—until today. Today, our members rolled up their sleeves and got to work bringing Station 2 back to life.

We filled an entire 30-yard dumpster with debris from inside and outside the station. The first floor is clean, organized, and usable again. The floors are visible, there is room to move throughout the station, and the equipment we are keeping has been organized.

We also tackled the second floor and cleaned up the entire exterior of the building. There is still work to do, and we’ll need one more 30-yard dumpster to finish the job—but today was a huge step forward.

At Lebanon Fire-EMS, we believe strongly in being good stewards of what our community entrusts to us. Your fire stations, apparatus, equipment, and resources deserve to be cared for, maintained, and respected. That responsibility matters to us.

A huge THANK YOU to every member who gave their time and worked hard today. The photos tell the story—Station 2 looks like a fire station again!

We’re proud of the progress, and we’re not done.

Community First. Response Always.

September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026
25 Years Later — We Remember

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation experienced a tragedy that forever changed America.

Nearly 3,000 lives were lost on September 11, 2001. Among them were 343 members of the FDNY who answered the call and ran toward unimaginable danger while thousands of others were trying to escape.

Behind every number was a person—a family, a friend, a coworker, a crew member, and a life that mattered.

Twenty-five years later, a generation has grown up knowing September 11 only through photographs, videos, memorials, and the stories we share. That makes our responsibility to remember even greater.

We remember the innocent lives lost. We remember the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice. We remember those who survived and those who later became sick or died because they answered the call that day.

We also remember how our nation came together afterward—neighbors helping neighbors, communities supporting one another, and Americans putting their differences aside.

Today, Lebanon Fire-EMS asks our community to carry that spirit forward.

Take a moment to remember. Share the story of September 11 with the next generation. Check on a neighbor. Help someone in need. Thank those who serve. Choose kindness, compassion, and unity.

The greatest way we can honor those we lost is not only by remembering how they died, but by remembering how they lived, served, and sacrificed for others.

25 Years Later. Still remembered. Always honored. Never forgotten.

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me exactly why I am so proud to be the Chief of Lebanon Fire-EMS.

Our department answered eight calls for service throughout the day. Our crews moved back and forth across our community, responding wherever they were needed. At one point, three serious emergencies came in within just 36 minutes—a chest pain emergency, a major multi-vehicle crash, and a cardiac arrest.

But this message isn’t really about the number of calls.

It’s about the people who answered them.

I want our community to know how incredibly proud I am of the men and women of Lebanon Fire-EMS.

Over the past year, I have watched this group work incredibly hard to become better. They have trained when it was difficult. They have challenged themselves. They have learned new skills, sharpened old ones, and pushed one another to improve.

They have put in the time and the work because they understand something very important: when someone calls 911, they deserve our very best.

Yesterday, all of that work mattered.

We were tested.

When one call came in after another, our people didn’t hesitate. Our on-duty crews responded. Our call members left their homes, their families, and whatever they were doing and came to help. When one ambulance was committed, another crew stepped forward. When our resources were stretched across town, more people answered.

There are moments in this profession when all the training, preparation, long hours, and sacrifices come together.

Yesterday was one of those moments.

As their Chief, there are few things that make me prouder than watching our people rise to the occasion when their community needs them most.

Our department isn’t made up simply of fire trucks, ambulances, equipment, or stations. It is made up of people. People who are willing to get out of bed, leave the dinner table, walk away from family gatherings, and put everything else aside because somewhere in Lebanon, someone may be having one of the worst moments of their life.

And when that happens, our people answer.

I also want to recognize the incredible departments and agencies surrounding Lebanon. When our resources were committed, our mutual aid partners stepped in without hesitation. Frisbie Memorial Hospital EMS, Rochester Fire Department, Sanford Fire Department, North Berwick Rescue, Maine LifeFlight, Maine DOT, law enforcement, dispatchers, and others all played a part in making sure our community continued to receive the help it needed.

There are no town lines when someone’s life is on the line. There are simply people helping people and communities taking care of one another. Yesterday, that system was tested, and our neighbors answered our call.

To every member of Lebanon Fire-EMS who answered yesterday: thank you.

Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for the hours you spend training. Thank you for answering when your community calls. Thank you for the sacrifices your families make so that you can serve someone else’s family. And thank you for continuing to believe in what we are building together.

I could not be more proud to be your Chief.

To our mutual aid partners, thank you for standing beside us. Your willingness to come into our community when we need you—and our ability to do the same for you—is what the fire and EMS service is all about.

And to the people of Lebanon, thank you for trusting us.

Thank you for trusting us to come through your door when you call for help. Thank you for trusting us with your families, your homes, and your lives during some of your most difficult moments. That trust is an incredible responsibility, and it is something we will never take for granted.

Yesterday was a difficult day. But it was also a reminder of just how strong this department, our mutual aid system, and our community can be when we come together.

Tomorrow, we will get up and do it again.

We will train. We will learn. We will improve. And when the next call comes, we will answer.

Because our goal remains simple:

Be better today than we were yesterday.

Community First. Service Always.

THREE SIMULTANEOUS EMERGENCIES — MUTUAL AID IN ACTION

Lebanon Fire-EMS and our mutual aid partners experienced an exceptionally busy morning today when three high-priority emergency calls came in within a 36-minute period — including a serious multi-vehicle crash and a cardiac arrest.

At 10:12 a.m., Lebanon Ambulance 3 responded lights and sirens to a Delta-Level chest pain emergency. Our crew evaluated, treated, and transported one patient.

As the crew was preparing to clear that call at approximately 10:42 a.m., Lebanon Fire-EMS was dispatched to a Delta-Level multi-vehicle crash involving a reported ejection, entrapment, and vehicle fire.

Available Lebanon personnel immediately responded back to Station 1 from the medical call. They staffed Engine 5 and Ambulance 1 and responded lights and sirens to the crash. Additional mutual aid resources were requested while our crew were enroute to the scene.

Then, at 10:48 a.m., while Lebanon units were still responding to the crash, a third emergency was dispatched — an Echo-Level cardiac arrest. With Lebanon resources already committed, Frisbie Ambulance 1 and a Rochester Engine were requested mutual aid to handle the cardiac arrest.

Lebanon Engine 5 and Lebanon Ambulance 1 arrived at the crash at approximately 10:51 a.m. Crews encountered a complex scene involving three heavily damaged vehicles:

• One vehicle remained in middle of the roadway, with one critically injured patient who had been ejected from the vehicle.
• A second vehicle had left the roadway, entered a ditch, and rolled over. The second vehicle caught fire after rolling over. A bystander used a fire extinguisher and successfully extinguished the fire before Lebanon crews arrived. The two occupants who had initially been entrapped were assisted from the vehicle by bystanders before emergency crews arrived.
• A third heavily damaged vehicle was partially in the roadway. The driver had self-extricated prior to Lebanon arriving on scene.

Engine 5 immediately was positioned to block and protect the scene while personnel deployed a hose line to the vehicle involved in the reported fire. Lebanon Ambulance 1 immediately began patient care. One Lebanon Fire-EMS member who responded directly from home was already on scene and assisting when our apparatus arrived.

Our crew initially treated the critically injured patient who had been ejected. Frisbie Ambulance 3 arrived at approximately 11:01 a.m., and care of the critically injured patient was transferred to their crew. Frisbie Ambulance 3 transported the critical patient to the Lebanon Pines Golf Course, where they rendezvoused with Maine LifeFlight. The patient was subsequently airlifted to an appropriate medical facility.

North Berwick Ambulance 1 transported one patient with non-life-threatening injuries. Lebanon Ambulance 1 transported one patient with non-life-threatening injuries.

After completing the initial chest pain call, Lebanon Ambulance 3 arrived at the crash scene at approximately 11:15 a.m. to assist with the incident. Lebanon Ambulance 3 subsequently transported one patient with non-life-threatening injuries.

In total, four patients were transported from the multi-vehicle crash — one critical patient and three patients with non-life-threatening injuries.

Additional resources arrived throughout the incident:
 Sanford Fire Engine 1 — 10:57 a.m.
 Frisbie Ambulance 3 — 11:01 a.m.
 North Berwick Ambulance 1 — 11:10 a.m.
 Lebanon Ambulance 3 — 11:15 a.m.
 Maine LifeFlight — 11:15 a.m.
 Maine DOT personnel responded and assisted with scene safety and traffic control by closing Route 202 to traffic, providing emergency crews with a safer environment in which to operate.

This morning demonstrated exactly why mutual aid is so important to communities like Lebanon. Within a very short period, our daily staffing and available apparatus were committed to three separate, serious medical and trauma emergencies.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation to Frisbie Memorial Hospital EMS, Rochester Fire Department, Sanford Fire Department, North Berwick Rescue, Maine LifeFlight, Maine DOT, law enforcement, dispatchers, and everyone else who assisted during these incidents. Thank you to everyone that assisted today.

We also want to recognize the bystanders who took action before emergency personnel arrived, including those who helped occupants from the overturned vehicle and the individual who used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the reported vehicle fire.

When multiple emergencies occur at the same time, there are no municipal boundaries — there are simply communities and emergency responders working together to make sure help gets where it is needed.

Today, that system was tested, and our mutual aid partners answered the call.

We had 8 total calls today and covered 7. One call was covered with supporting mutual aid, Six calls with only Lebanon crews and apparatus, and one call was covered by mutual aid only.

Training Today for Tomorrow’s Emergencies

Members of Lebanon Fire-EMS are hard at work today sharpening their skills through hands-on training in search and rescue operations, Mayday procedures, and firefighter self-extrication techniques.

To make the training more realistic and challenging, members’ facepieces were covered to create a “blackout” condition, simulating the zero-visibility environment firefighters may encounter inside a smoke-filled structure. This requires personnel to rely on their training, communication, teamwork, and ability to operate effectively without visual references.

Training is a critical part of what we do. Emergency incidents are often stressful, fast-moving, and unpredictable. Practicing these skills under realistic conditions helps our personnel build the confidence and muscle memory needed to remain calm, work through problems, and perform safely when conditions are at their worst.

We are proud of the dedication our members continue to demonstrate through training and professional development. Every hour spent practicing today helps us remain prepared to serve our community when it matters most.

Community First. Service Always.

Yesterday, Lebanon Fire-EMS responded to a rapidly spreading brush fire on Milton Mills Road. The fire involved approximately 200 feet of roadside and wooded terrain, destroyed one vehicle, and threatened a residence, detached garage, and several additional vehicles.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all responding personnel, the fire was brought under control, the threatened structures and vehicles were protected, and no civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Sanford, Shapleigh, Acton, North Berwick, Farmington, and Milton Fire Departments for their mutual-aid response. We also thank the Maine Forest Service for responding and assisting with the investigation.

Incidents like this demonstrate the importance of strong regional partnerships and coordinated emergency response. Thank you to every firefighter and agency that assisted today.
