To the Editor:
On Feb. 18, at the Bristol Consolidated School, a propane leak was discovered and reported during the early morning hours. Bristol Fire & Rescue, under the leadership of Paul Leeman and Jared Pendleton, worked in great collaboration with mutual aid towns Bremen, Newcastle, South Bristol and Damariscotta to identify the issue, cordon off the area so that no one had entry to the building and assured the safety of all.
With the extended cooperation and help from local companies, the Maine Fire Marshal’s office and the custodians at the school (led by Bob Onorato), a very dangerous situation was averted.
On behalf of the Bristol Consolidated School, the Bristol School Board, and the Bristol community, I extend my thanks; I greatly appreciate the efforts of all involved to prevent personal injury and property damage.
(Ed Note: Steven Bailey is the AOS 93 Superintendent of Schools.)
