PRESQUE ISLE More than 70 fire departments turned out for the 59th annual Maine State Federation of Firefighters Convention that featured a Saturday parade down Main Street in Presque Isle.
Around 65 different fire trucks drove down the parade line with sirens and horns blaring to the excited crowds.
Widespread contamination from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) “has the potential to impose an unsustainable burden on state and private resources,” the Maine PFAS Task Force wrote three years ago. The weight of that burden from widely.
Selectmen say fire chief should not have taken the department's ladder truck to a neighboring town for a Fourth of July parade or used a tanker truck to fill his swimming pool.
