Assessors back broader community fire training; Rangeley manager to follow up
Summary
Assessor Lisa Kinsman urged larger-scale community fire and safety training (fire extinguisher, CPR, home safety inspections); First Assessor Varney suggested inviting the Fire Chief to a quarterly meeting and Rangeley Town Manager Joe Roach committed to follow up with details.
At the Feb. 24, 2026 Board of Assessors meeting, Assessor Lisa Kinsman (Sandy River Plantation) said she supports expanding fire-department training offerings to the broader community, including fire-extinguisher education, CPR instruction and home-safety inspections rather than only one-on-one or on-request sessions.
First Assessor Rodney Varney said it would be useful to have the Fire Chief attend a future quarterly meeting to discuss training logistics and community outreach. Rangeley Town Manager Joe Roach told the board he will follow up and provide additional information when available. No formal action or funding decision was made at the meeting.
