Eddington Fire Department

10/07/2026

Last week, we said goodbye to our Live-In Student, Nathan Page. Nathan was recognized for his time of service, just over a year, living at the fire station while attending school.

Nathan is leaving to take a full-time position in Bangor. We are very proud of Nathan, and this is only a short goodbye, as he still plans to remain active as a part-time/on-call firefighter.

Thanks for everything, Nathan! Best of luck as you settle into Bangor.

Today was a great day at Eddington School as DC Russell, LT Russell, and FF Jessa had the opportunity to spend time with students and talk about something incredibly important — fire prevention and fire safety!

The students learned about the importance of having working smoke alarms in their homes, what to do in the event of a fire, what to not grab and choosing a safe meeting place outside.

Of course, no Fire Prevention Day would be complete without getting a close-up look at the fire trucks and equipment! Students had the opportunity to see some of the tools firefighters use, learn about our protective gear, and better understand what they might see and hear when firefighters arrive at an emergency. Helping children recognize that the person behind the mask and gear is there to help them is an important part of fire safety education.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Engine 321. This apparatus is a New E-One Typhoon pumper equipped with a 1,000-gallon water tank, a 1,500 GPM pump, with a foam system. The truck was approved more than four years ago, and we have all been patiently waiting for its arrival.

This new apparatus replaces the old 321, which has served the department for more than 30 years. Today, we held a small ceremonial first push into the station and took some "old versus new" photos to mark the occasion.

A huge thank you goes out to our Town Manager, Selectboard, and the residents of Eddington for their continued support. Their commitment to the department made this project possible.

The truck will be placed into service after several final steps are completed. Over the next few weeks, crews will be training on the apparatus and mounting equipment and tools. Once that work is complete, Engine 321 will officially become our first-out engine.
