Being prepared doesn’t stop when you leave home. Keeping a well-stocked emergency kit in your vehicle can help you stay safe during a breakdown, severe weather, traffic delay, or other unexpected situation.

Consider keeping water, nonperishable snacks, a first aid kit, flashlight and extra batteries, jumper cables, a phone charger, basic tools, reflective warning devices, blankets, warm clothing, and seasonal items like an ice scraper or small shovel in your car.

A few simple supplies can make a big difference when you need them most.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.

For those of us in emergency management, September 11 is more than a day of remembrance. It is a reminder of our responsibility when our communities need us most. We stand ready to help people through their darkest moments.

Today, we remember those we lost, honor those who served, and recommit ourselves to the work of resilience.

We remember. We prepare. We serve. We carry the responsibility forward. 🇺🇸 We owe it to those who made this sacrifice.

A little preparation can make a big difference during an emergency. Keep at least a 3-day supply of water and nonperishable food for everyone in your household, including pets and anyone with special dietary needs. A good rule of thumb is about 1 gallon of water per person, per day.

Check your supplies regularly, rotate out expired items, and choose foods your family will actually eat. Being prepared helps you stay safe, comfortable, and self-sufficient when normal services are disrupted.

Your pets are part of the family, and they need to be included in your emergency plans too. A pet preparedness kit can help keep them safe, comfortable, and cared for during a disaster or evacuation.

Be sure to pack food, water, medications, medical records, a leash or carrier, comfort items, and sanitation supplies. Having these essentials ready ahead of time can reduce stress and help you move quickly if an emergency happens.

Prepared pets are safer pets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Structure Fire on Brunswick Road in Richmond

Richmond, Maine —At approximately 12:33 PM today, Sagadahoc County Regional Communications Center received a call for a fully involved structure fire in the area. Emergency crews were dispatched and responded to the area of 165 Brunswick Road in Richmond, A and W Auto Sales and Service.

Upon arrival, firefighters encountered a rapidly spreading fire, resulting in the activation of a second alarm and the response of additional fire and emergency resources from throughout the region. There was one minor injury on scene. Crews treated the patient for very minor burns and smoke inhalation, and they did not require transport to an area hospital.

Responding agencies included the Fire Departments of Richmond, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Topsham, Woolwich, Lisbon, Pittston, Gardner, West Gardiner, Litchfield Dresden and Farmingdale Fire Departments; Richmond Police Department; Richmond Utilities District; Sagadahoc County Emergency Management Agency; Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office; Maine Department of Transportation; Maine Department of Environmental Protection; Maine State Fire Marshal's Office; American Red Cross; and Tourtelotte Excavating.

Due to the significant number of emergency personnel and apparatus operating at the scene, residents and motorists were asked to avoid the area of Brunswick Road while firefighters worked to contain and extinguish the fire. Brunswick Road is a heavily traveled roadway, and maintaining access for emergency vehicles was critical to the response. This roadway has since been reopened in all directions.

The structure sustained extensive damage and is considered a total loss at this time.

The Maine State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire and its cause. No additional information regarding the cause will be released until the investigation is complete.

Sagadahoc County Emergency Management and responding agencies thank the public for their cooperation and for avoiding the area while emergency operations were underway.
