MACHIAS FIRE DEPARTMENT

ANNUAL REPORT

The members of the Machias Fire Department take pride in protecting the life and property of the Town of Machias and providing mutual aid to the surrounding communities of Marshfield, Machiasport, Jonesboro/Roque Bluffs and East Machias. The Machias Fire Department also provides contractual services aid and assistance to the towns of Northfield and Whitneyville. Our department handled over 500 complaints and responded to 111 Emergencies.

Over this past year, our department has seen a lot of change on how we respond to emergencies. This update is helpful for our on-duty Driver to be able to keep our equipment in ready mode for any emergency we are needed for as well as any non-emergency our community needs our department for.

Our department is currently working on fire-related preplanning of all structures within the Town of Machias. This goal is to help us operate more efficiently and effectively, which can lead to less damage and a better chance of a successful rescue of person(s) if needed.

Our fire department is in need, like all other volunteer fire departments in our area for dedicated and hardworking individuals who would like to give back to their community. You can stop by our station anytime to pick up and drop off an application.

The following is the active roster of the Machias Fire Department:

Fire Chief Joey R. Dennison, 1st Assistant Chief Joe Thompson, Capt. Andy McKenna, Capt. Andrew Mulholland, Lt. Brandon Merrill, Lt. Vidar Zay, Photo Phil Roberts, FF Donald Cole, FF Dennis Bowker, FF Colby Ross, FF Bill Kitchen, FF Nick Cianciola, FF Cat Cannon, FF Grant Hanscom, FF Steve Simmons, FF Clifford Strout, FF Jacob Hanscom, FF Becky Lee, FF Daniel Bowker, FF Justin Farnsworth, FF Shannon Larmie, FF Corrine Larmie, FF Josh Norman, FF Scott Gordan and Driver/Dispatcher Adam Hall.

As well as responding to emergencies and receiving training, the members of our department also find time to provide training to the community. Our volunteers are active in our local school system giving fire safety lectures to our school children, and demonstrating fire safety equipment. Volunteers are also available to give tours of the fire station to any resident. For more information and to make arrangements, please contact Fire Chief Joey R. Dennison at 255-4424 or e-mail chiefdennison@hotmail.com

I would like to thank the Residents, Select Board, Town Manager and the members of the Machias Fire Department for their continued support over the past 19 years and giving me the opportunity to continue to serve as Fire Chief for the Town of Machias and assisting the surrounding communities.

Respectfully Submitted,

Joey R. Dennison, Machias Fire Chief
