Recent Calls: Great job to the crew who responded to Waterboro last Sunday. In today's mail I received a thank you card from Chief Bors. Another "first" York County. Three working fires simultaneously. Old Orchard was covering our station. I think tankers from as far away as Sacopee were hauling water. We ran 15 calls this past 5-days.

The Wildland Fire Assessment Program (WFAP) is a joint effort by the U.S. Forest Service and the NVFC to provide departments with training on how to properly conduct assessments for homes located in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). This is the first program targeted to volunteers that specifically prepares them to evaluate a home and provide residents with recommendations to protect their property from wildfires in order to become a more a fire-adapted community.
