This afternoon at approximately 14:40, crews from Phippsburg Fire and Rescue responded to a single vehicle rollover on Parker Head Road. The road was temporarily closed while crews assessed the operator and scene, along with Phippsburg Police. No major injuries were found, the scene has been cleared and the road has been reopened.

Permit Alert!

It’s that time of year! We get it. You’ve got lots of brush to burn and that’s fine! As long as…. you get a permit!

Permits are issues based on the fire danger level for the day, decided by the state (not us!). If they don’t let you get a permit, that means you cannot burn that day.

Permits are good for one day only. If you want to burn the next day, you have to apply for another permit.

It’s simple, it’s fast and you can do it all online here: https://apps1.web.maine.gov/burnpermit/public/index.html

Happy Safe Burning to all!
