October has already been a busy month for Lisbon Fire! All of our members have been training, completing fire prevention at Lisbon Community School, and getting our new Squad 8 ready for service.

Squad 8 is officially in service and has already responded to its first emergency call in Lisbon! As we welcome our newest apparatus, we also said goodbye to Engine 1, which faithfully served our town for more than 23 years.

Our members have also responded to 48 incidents this month so far, including building fires, medical calls, investigations, alarms, and inspections.

A big thank-you to our on-call , per diem, and career members for the time and effort they put in, and to the Town of Lisbon for its continued support!

Interested in joining our team? We’re always looking for dedicated people to serve as on-call members.

Today, members of the Lisbon Fire Department were out getting valuable driving and pump time on our new Squad 8 as we continue preparing the apparatus to be placed in service.

You may see Squad 8 around town over the next couple of weeks. Before any member operates the apparatus, they are required to complete factory training, department-specific training, driving time, pump operations, and hands-on familiarization with the truck and its equipment.

This Sunday, members will continue that process with a driving confidence course using cones. This is just one part of the training required before Squad 8 is cleared for operation.

This training involves our career, per diem, and on call members , all putting in the time to become familiar and confident with this new piece of equipment. We are grateful for the commitment our members continue to show as we work through this process together.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Lisbon Communications Center Transition to
Androscoggin County Regional Communications Center

The Lisbon Police Department wants to make residents aware of several upcoming changes as dispatch services provided by the Lisbon Communications Center transition to the Androscoggin County Regional Communications Center.

Beginning October 4, 2026, at 7:00 PM, overnight dispatch services will transition to Androscoggin County. During this interim period, Lisbon dispatchers will continue to staff the local Communications Center from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM each day.

As part of this transition, the Police Department lobby will be closed nightly from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM while security improvements to the lobby are completed.

Lisbon Police Officers will continue to provide 24-hour police services to the community. Anyone needing police assistance during overnight hours may call 207-353-2500 and select extension 1 to reach a police officer. As always, for an emergency, dial 911.

The overnight lobby closure will remain in place until the security improvements are completed. Once those improvements are finished, a telephone will be available in the lobby so members of the public can report an incident or request police assistance when a dispatcher is not physically present.

Full Dispatch Transition - January 1, 2027

Effective January 1, 2027, the Lisbon Communications Center will permanently close, and dispatching for the Lisbon Police Department will be provided 24 hours a day by the Androscoggin County Regional Communications Center.

This transition applies only to communications and dispatch services. Lisbon Police Officers will continue providing 24-hour police services to the community, including patrol, response to calls for service, investigations, and other law enforcement services provided by the Lisbon Police Department.

Our regular Police Department telephone number, 207-353-2500, will not change.

We appreciate the community's patience as we work through these changes and complete the necessary security improvements to our lobby. We will continue to provide updates as the transition moves forward.
