Residents voted Dec. 27 to accept donations totaling $245,000 for the Lincolnville Fire Department from a local nonprofit organization. In November, Peter Rollins, president of Lincolnville Volunteer Fire Department Inc., announced the nonprofit's intent to donate the funds at a meeting of the Board of Selectmen.
On Dec. 27, about 20 residents in attendance at a special town meeting accepted, by a show of hands, a donation of $75,000 for the Fire Truck Fund reserve account, a donation of $150,000 for a new fund to be used for a future fire station in Lincolnville Beach, and a $20,000 donation to fund a new line item for personnel recruitment and retention.
In July 2015, the Lincolnville Board of Selectman accepted $33,000 worth of Holmatro extrication equipment from the Lincolnville Volunteer Fire Department Inc. to replace used extrication equipment that had been purchased from the Camden First Aid Association Access Team.
