Swan’s Island Fire Department and Ems
On Thursday, Swan’s Island Fire and EMS received word from Senators King’s and Collins’ offices that we had been awarded $1.444 million through the Congressional Directed Spending Grant for the Station 2 addition. Having a training/meeting room and all the trucks and equipment under one roof will certainly enhance services and benefit the year-round and summer folks.
Many thanks to Fran and Eric Chetwynd who were instrumental in the grant writing process, Bob Fenney who volunteered his architectural knowledge and expertise to help us create blue prints, Sonny Sprague and the current selectmen who supported the project, those who wrote letters of support, and a final thank you to the islanders who voted at town meeting to raise the funds required to apply for the grant.
