Thank You, Firefighters, from Sheep Island
On behalf of all of the residents of Sheep Island, we send our profound thanks to all the fire departments from the surrounding towns, the Maine Forest Service, the Coast Guard, as well as the enormous number of volunteers who helped to extinguish the conflagration on the Island on Friday, June 24. Five cottages built over 100 years ago were saved and no one was injured as a result of the expertise, skill, and commitment of all of these professionals. We will be forever grateful.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
