April 1, 2012: The Department had a very busy March. Logging 29 calls for service. That is more then double the last two months. Of those 29 calls, 9 of them were Motor Vehicle Crashes, 4 Medical Assists, & 3 Mutual Aid/Cover Assignments. The rest were single calls such as a Water Rescue, Fluid Spill, and a Building Lock Out.

January 1, 2012: Thank you for all your support this past year. May 2012 bring you lots of prosperity and good health.

Congratulations Orland!

September 25: Eliot Fire Department would like to thank all those who supported us during Eliot Festival Day by purchasing a food item. Again this year we had to forgo our signature food item, Funnel Cakes. This has been a very hard decision for us the past couple of years. It seems we ask more and more of our firefighters every year which makes it harder and harder for them to balance family time and the Fire Department. Not to mention over the past several years our membership numbers are down significantly. Should this situation change in the future, which we are sure it will, Funnel Cakes will return to our Festival Day menu.

September 11: On the 10th Anniversary of September 11. Members of the Dept. had a small ceremony at the fire station. Members of the Dept. Attended to pay tribute to those who perished on this day. The fire siren whistle was blown and 3 bells rang. (Photo by FF. Hardy)
