🔥 Introducing the Lebanon Home Safe Program! 🔥
Your Lebanon Fire-EMS Department is excited to soon launch a brand-new Community Risk Reduction initiative focused on protecting our seniors right here at home.

The Lebanon Home Safe Program is designed to help our older residents stay safe and independent by:
🏠 Conducting home safety inspections to reduce hazards.
🚶 Providing education on fall prevention and safe living.
🚑 Helping to reduce the need to call 911 before an emergency ever happens.

Here’s a sobering fact: for adults 65 and older, a fall resulting in a broken hip leads to a 60% fatality rate within two years of the injury. That’s heartbreaking — and we’re determined to change it.

Prevention is preferable to transport.
Let’s work together to keep Lebanon’s seniors healthy, strong, and home safe. ❤️

Additional details will be shared soon as we prepare to roll out this important new program to the Lebanon community. We’re excited to bring this forward for the safety and well-being of our residents. Stay tuned! 🔥🏡❤️

🔥 Lebanon Firefighters Jacket Fundraiser Update! 🔥

What an incredible community we serve! Thanks to your overwhelming kindness and support, we’ve already raised $9,100 toward our $10,500 goal! ❤️🧥

Every donation—big or small—represents the heart of Lebanon. It’s neighbors helping neighbors, friends supporting firefighters, and a town coming together to protect those who protect you.

These new 3-in-1 winter coats will help keep our firefighters warm, visible, and ready to answer the call in the harshest Maine weather. But more than that, they remind every member of our department that this community believes in them.

🔥 NO BURNING TODAY – VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER 🔥

Due to very high fire danger conditions, no open burning is allowed today in the Town of Lebanon.
All burn permits are suspended until conditions improve.

Dry weather, wind, and leaf litter on the ground have created extreme fire risk. Even a small spark can quickly spread and threaten homes, property, and responders.

Please help keep our community safe:

Do not burn brush, leaves, or debris.

Avoid outdoor sparks or flames (fire pits, grills, ci******es, etc.).

Report smoke or fire immediately by calling 911.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping Lebanon safe!

Burn Danger today is Moderate. Burn Permits are being issued on Maine.gov. As a reminder, please ensure that you have the necessary tools, a charged hose line, and maintain a safe distance of at least 50 feet from any structure when burning. Thank you all.

10/02/2025

🚫🔥 NO BURNING ALLOWED 🔥🚫

Due to the current dry conditions, all open burning is prohibited until further notice.

With the foliage now changing and leaves covering the ground, the risk of fire spreading quickly has increased significantly. Even small fires can rapidly get out of control under these conditions.

We ask our residents to help keep Lebanon safe by refraining from any open burning. Your cooperation is critical to protecting our community.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
