Longtime museum volunteer Stewart Rhine said he was at the fire station Wednesday night, Nov. 1 when he heard the contractors and a Central Maine Power liaison needed a spot to meet. “I said, ‘Follow me.’”
The museum is part of the community and was glad to help, Rhine said. He added, he kidded to the crews that, if they would get power back on at the museum, he could open the restrooms to them.
Third Selectman Doug Baston said he was driving home Nov. 1 when he pulled off at the substation on Route 218 to take a call. “Then I looked up and there were (power) trucks as far as the eye could see, waiting for me to get out of the way.”
He introduced himself to the crews and provided the companies with contact information for town emergency officials including Alna Emergency Management Agency Director Roger Whitney, who was doing an incredible job, Baston added in an interview at the fire station.
Parking at the museum was saving the crews hours in travel time, Baston said.
