Governor Janet Mills proclaimed Saturday, October 5, 2019 as Firefighter's Recognition Day.
"Like all first responders, Maine's firefighters courageously put their lives at risk every day to protect us and ensure our safety," said Governor Janet Mills. "Too many times this year, our firefighters have laid down their lives in the line of duty and we remain forever grateful for their sacrifice. Tomorrow, I urge the people of Maine to join me in thanking our firefighters for their service and selflessness."
