At approximately 2:05 p.m. this afternoon, the Livermore Falls Fire Department was dispatched to a reported smoke alarm activation at a multi-family residence on Park Street.

Engine 3 was first to arrive and reported smoke coming from a second-floor apartment. Mutual aid was immediately requested. Firefighters entered the building, located a kitchen fire, and quickly extinguished it before it could spread to the other apartments.

The fire was contained to one apartment, which sustained significant smoke and water damage. The American Red Cross was contacted and is assisting tenants affected by the incident.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office.

We thank Livermore Maine Fire Rescue , Jay Fire & Rescue, Farmington Fire Rescue, Wilton Fire & Rescue, Livermore Falls Police Department, and MaineHealth EMS for their response and assistance in bringing the fire under control and limiting the damage.

On August 29th, early Saturday morning Wilton Fire received a tone for 23 Sunset Ave for a fire alarm going off.

Caller reported she was asleep when she was woken by the alarm and doesn’t see any flames but it seemed hazy in her house, as well as the smell of possible smoke. Caller and her son evacuated the house.

Chief Sonny Dunham copied the call and went enroute.

Ladder 7 went enroute shortly after staffed with operator Senior Captain Geroge Guptil, Captain Justin Lowe, FF Brian Young and Lt Cody Blodgett.

Upon arrival of scene, crews reported nothing to be showing. The residence appeared to be wood frame construction. Crews made entry, and monitored the house for any readings or obvious hazards.

The interior team reported there was no smoke, and quickly found that this house had hardwire interlinked smoke detectors with back up batteries. The interior team found the faulty detector in the basement that was causing all alarms to sound. While being in the basement the crews found that the furnace had kicked on, and the chimney was plugged up to the flue. The interior team also discovered that there were things piled up against the damper not allowing it to work properly.

The interior team worked to clear the surrounding areas of house hold items and to clear the pl

After the findings in the basement the exterior team threw ladders to the roof to confirm that it was no longer plugged.

The house was cleared and deemed safe for the homeowners to return back inside.

Although this call had a very good outcome , Wilton Fire would like to use this call as an important reminder:

- Change the batteries in your smoke detectors regularly. As well as test your smoke detectors to make sure they are functioning properly.

- Keep the areas around furnaces, woodstoves, pellet stoves, and other heating appliances clear of household items and debris.

- Make sure chimneys, flues, and vents remain clear and are properly maintained.

Keeping these areas clear and your detection equipment properly maintained can help ensure your heating system operates effectively and safely.

This evening Wilton Fire had the privilege of recognizing 4 of our firefighters for a call where they all went above and beyond.

Often times in the fire service when the call comes in we do not question it and immediately respond to the call. Sometimes with little information. This is one of those where we train for in hopes we never receive. Although they don’t happen often this is one where these 4 responded quickly, professionally, used their skills and training and put themselves last in order to change the outcome and save the lives of many individuals.

Today, FF/AEMT Ellie Adams, Deputy Chief Mike Lilley, FF/ Andy Cote, and FF/ Stephen Lakin received a certificate of Exceptional Bravery, and a Medal Of Valor.
