Question Fire & Rescue in Eastport

Does anyone have an address for the Eastport volunteer fire company and/or the nearest ambulance service to town? I'd like to find it on mapquest, but when I search for local fire companies the closest it brings up is in Lubec.

We're coming up this summer and are planning to move there in 2009. Our son is an EMT and volunteer fireman, and when he gets out of HS he plans on going to school to be a paramedic. We'd like to check out the fire/rescue facilities in town just out of curiosity.

Eastport may use the ambulance service from Pleasant Point. Mollysmiles will probably know the answer to this one.

The Eastport Volunteer Fire Department is at the corner of County Road and Deep Cove Road, Diagonal from the Irving (or the former Irving location). Eastport has ambulance service, coordinated with all the surrounding communities.

Where does the ambulance come from? Calais, Pembroke, or is it right in Eastport? Did they used to contract with Downeast ambulance?

Thanks mensaguy - it's nice to get an idea of where things are. Having been a cartographer I can get a pretty good image (especially with the sat pics) of what a place looks like. Is it the building on the SW corner?

SW corner of the intersection. A map could show Washington Street going toward town, and County Road might be labeled Rt. 190.

Don't know, but I THINK it comes from the fire station. I do know that Eastport has its own ambulance.

I thought that someone else had stated that on a thread somewhere in here. It was either that or I read it in an article in The Quoddy Tides.


Yippee more Eastportians!!! That poor unsuspecting town.

hey, I only have a second but wanted to reply quickly. Eastport does use Downeast Ambulance service, Pleasant Point has it's own. I have heard and have been told that getting a job with Downeast right now is very workable.....they aren't terribly short handed, but the cover a very large area, and are always looking for quality employees Hope that helps, off to waypoint some memorial geocaches.....
