Bucksport, ME 04416 PAGE 4 » THE BUCKSPORT ENTERPRISE » FEBRUARY 13. 2020 Serving community The front page o f this week’s Bucksport Enterprise includes two reminders of some of the life-and-death inci­ dents the public does not often see as firefighters and other first responders go about their duties. The first has been long-expected: a photo chronicling the presentation of recognition to local firefighters/EMTs for their successful interventions when a young woman last . » i Year dealt with the demons and despair EDITORIAL that led her to the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The second was one of those shocking, sudden and tragic accidents that resulted in the death of an Orland man despite all of the best efforts of firefighters and others to rescue him from the icy water of Alamoosook Lake. In both situations the first responders did exacdy what they have trained to do. Still, in small communities these calls for help were especially personal, for each of those involved has a name, and first responders do not respond to numbers for a log­ book entry; they respond to people. They do what they do with great compassion and understanding. While a community grieves for this latest victim of a tragic accident, and tries to grapple with the forces that cause despair, the responders, too, deserve our support and our understanding In that vein, it’s heartening to learn the local police and fire depart­ ments have formalized the arrangements that long have quietly A letter ... the editor provided voluntary counseling to those who, too often, must deal lion dollars according to the leged minority? with crises that, sometimes, result in a death.
