    Town of Farmington Annual Town Report 2019 Photo courtesy of the Farmington Historical Society A Heartfelt Thank You to the Farmington Community Events periodically occur close to home and around the world during our lifetimes that impress upon us the commonality of humankind as well as the uniqueness of our experiences as individuals. The explosion that happened here in our small town on September 16, 2019 reminded us of how connected we all are and how much we depend on each other. The loss of life and injury to people known and loved was a shock that still resonates, and we will all be forever changed. The generous outpouring of community support and giving through donated meals, gifts, and fund-raising efforts to help the family of Captain Michael Bell, the affected firefighter families, displaced residents, and Larry Lord and his family has been sincerely appreciated. We have all been comforted and assisted by residents, family members, friends, and strangers, from Maine and beyond, with their remarkable expressions of compassion. The Town of Farmington, its citizens, and the greater regional community are truly grateful and thankful to these individuals who responded, volunteered, donated, and gave what they could to help everyone cope with this event.
