Etna Volunteer Fire And Rescue

Etna Volunteer Fire And Rescue We are a group of people that want to give back to the community by being part of the fire service. The E.F.D. at a glance. This station is not-staffed.

Welcome to the Etna Volunteer Fire Department's "Official" Facebook. We would like to extend a special welcome to first time visitors to the site. I hope you find the information helpful and hope you book mark it for returns. For any return visitors, you can see that the site is continually changing and with any luck improving. The Etna Volunteer Fire Department is a highly motivated and dedicated

organization that is tasked with providing emergency services within our small rural town. Our 24 volunteers provide fire-rescue services to the towns residents and visitors, including EMT-Basic level first response medical care. Currently, we operate out of a small two bay station located just off State Route 2. All calls go through the local PSAP and E911 center for Penobscot County

The Volunteers answer approximately 175 calls per calendar year. Please Check back soon.

Good morning everyone. There have been several postings about Route 2 being closed for 14 days. This means you can not cross at a certain point. ALL BUISNESSES AND HOUSES are still accessible. You just may have to take the scenic route to get there depending in the direction you are coming from. If you are out for a crusie or even make it destination, stop by Conants Orchard!! Be safe

‼️‼️‼️WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS- IF YOU ARE COMING FROM THE BANGOR SIDE TO THE ORCHARD IT IS ALL CLEAR AND YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH. GO RIGHT THROUGH THIS SIGN I ATTACHED.

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM THE NEWPORT SIDE THERE IS A DETOUR- lots of people are taking the interstate and getting off the Etna Dixmont Exit‼️‼️‼️

‼️This sign is in the road coming from the Bangor side. The Bangor side of the orchard IS NOT CLOSED AT ALL. This sign is just here to warn the road being closed which is past the orchard- you can still go through ‼️

There is a detour if you are coming from the Newport side.

We understand this is frustrating and difficult. Please still come out as we are open everyday and a seasonal business! Thank you!😍🍎🙌🏼✨

Good morning Everyone. Maine DOT is closing Stage road (Route 2) for about two weeks starting on the 28th of August. These smart folks in Town of Carmel made a beautiful post so I dont have to rewrite what they said. Plan accordingly. Be safe

HEADS UP! UPCOMING ROAD WORK ON RT. 2 IN ETNA.

Starting August 18, 2025, RT 2 will be closed around Conant Orchard in Etna (closure is RED pin on map). A cross culvert is being replaced, and work is expected to take 14 days. If work goes beyond that date, there will be an alternating One-Way traffic pattern.

Below are links for the Detour map, and the exact point on the map where the road work/culvert replacement will happen. (These links are to google maps, and they can be manipulated if you want to map out an alternate route.)

When I got up this morning and scolled through FB and I see the following article.

Shocked and heart broken.

We respond to calls day in and day out and never think we will be in a situation like this.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the agencies and individuals invovled in this incident.

To the departments and families of the people who did not survive this horrible ordeal, we send our condolences.

Well, I am not feeling talented or cleaver enough to come up with something sayings that make you feel even more warm and fuzzy today. Um... if you feel fuzzy, that could be mold growing and you should get that checked out.

Kidding.

Its hot, sticky, sunny, hot, and....sunny.
Try to keep yourself cool today. (Wearing sunglasses is not what I meant). Try to keep your body temperature down. Stay in shade. Drink water. Go swimming, or just sit in front of the A/C. (Thats air conditioner not assistant chief).

Keep an eye out for heat exhaustion and heat stroke symptoms. Like a storm, you want them to go away. Take care of yourself, the kids, the neighbors, and that little poodle running around.

Be safe.

The "Spirit of America Award" is an award, often presented by towns or municipalities in Maine, to honor individuals, groups or projects for their outstanding community service.

Recognition of Volunteerism: The award is primarily intended to acknowledge and celebrate individuals, organizations or projects that have demonstrated exceptional dedication to community service.

At the annual Etna Town Meeting tonight, the Etna Volunteer Fire Department was presented the "Spirit of America Award". This is for their remarkable dedication and continued support to the Town of Etna between responding to emergencies and holding their monthly breakfast. As the Fire Chief, I am very humbled by this award as well as extremely proud of my crew for their unwavering dedication to the Town of Etna. My crew continues to show this dedication with their eagerness to learn and work skillfully together on scenes. They not only work well together as a crew, but they also operate efficiently with our mutual aid agencies.

Thank you to the Town of Etna for this award as it is very much appreciated.

I also can not thank my crew enough for their continued hard work and dedication.

Respectfully,
Timothy Hall
Chief
Etna Volunteer Fire Department.

21-year-old US Army Private Willard Merrill was captured by Japanese forces in 1942 while fighting in the Philippines during World War II.

PVT Merrill died at a POW camp and was later buried as an unidentified soldier at a memorial cemetery in the Philippines. PVT Merrill had recently been exhumed and his body successfully identified.

Today, Private Merrill was transported to Dover-Foxcroft, his home town to be properly buried in June.

Several agencies were asked to line roads and bridges to honor his es**rt home. In our area, Etna, Newport, Plymouth, and Dixmont Fire lined various spots on Route 7 in Newport to honor PVT Merrill

Our thoughts and prayers are with PVT Merrill and his family.

Welcome home PVT Merrill. You can rest in peace now.
