LEWISTON, Maine — The Lewiston Fire Department is receiving recognition at the federal level for its heroic efforts in fighting three massive fires that broke out in downtown Lewiston earlier this spring.
Over a seven-day stretch, firefighters battled the flames in three separate fires. Several buildings were destroyed and hundreds were left homeless. Remarkably, there were no injuries and several buildings were saved.
“They showed such determination, professionalism, skill, courage, and dedication,” U.S. Senator Susan Collins said. “I felt that their work should be recognized.”
